A second life for all those glass bottles! I use empty glass bottles of all kinds to make the central glass piece of these bracelets! For this one, I used a bottle of Irish cream.
I carve them and melt them at high heat to create these rings! The glass was then frosted to give it that unique frosted effect!
I add a hand-dyed silk ribbon (by another artist), a charm made of a volcanic stone and a small leaf. You can put a drop of your favorite essential oil on the stone and enjoy its fragrance and properties all day long! Choose your ribbon color from the list, using the last image!
To wear the bracelet, simply wrap it around the wrist, pass it through the glass ring and tie it with two knots. We can have fun trying several styles, adding knots, or making a loop in the front. An explanatory video is available on my facebook page right here!
*All metal components are made of stainless steel, a hypoallergenic metal, which will remain beautiful throughout the years!
*The glass melting process involves melting the glass at 1600 degrees fahrenheit
*Please note that each piece of glass and each bracelet is handcrafted, and may therefore differ slightly from the jewel shown in the photos!
* If you wish, I can make a pendant and/or earrings to match the bracelet, contact me privately! You can also change the color of the glass charm!
Manufacturing process
Manufacturing process
- Handmade jewelry in Quebec -
Each piece of glass of the jewelry is handmade, in my workshop in St-Denis-de-Brompton (near Sherbrooke)
Each bottle or sheet of new glass will be cut into small squares, with a manual glass cutter. The squares will then be combined according to the result I want to obtain. Everything will be melted between 1500 and 1600 degrees F, depending on where the glass comes from.
Firing the glass takes about 15 hours in total. When the glass pieces are cold, if necessary, the matte finish will be done mechanically, a bit like glass polished by the sea, then they will be assembled on the frames.
As each piece of jewelry is handmade, there may be slight differences between the piece of jewelry shown in the photos and the one you will receive.

All metal is stainless steel, silver color by default. When gold and rose gold options are available, they are displayed at the top of the form.
(Necklaces, bracelets and rings are only available on silver color bases)
Gold and rose-gold color are plating on stainless steel base. Over time, the color may become duller, depending on the acidity of your skin and how often you wear them.

The measurement (8, 10 or 12 mm) is for the piece of glass only, the cabochon frame adds 2 mm to the total diameter of the loop for cabochons, levers, cabochon necklaces and cabochon rings)

The last thing you should wear when getting dressed in the morning is your jewelry. It's also the first thing you should take off at night. Avoid wearing your jewelry in water, they will stay beautiful longer!
You can clean your earrings with rubbing alcohol to remove residue.
allergies
allergies
If you tend to react easily to your earrings, I strongly advise you to take the silver colored ones. 99.9% of women have no problem with silver colored ones (avoid gold and rose-gold for the first order)
Everything is done so that you do not react to the ears. If you ever feel any discomfort while wearing your earrings, contact me. I guarantee all my products without allergies, or I will refund you. Please contact me before any return.
