My heart skipped a beat when I heard about this gin.
If you're a gin aficionado, you'll recognize it 😉
Why?
At first, I thought it was painted. What a shame…But I bought it anyway. After all, at worst, I'd still have the gin to console me.
But no. The bottle is truly purple.
And the gin was truly delicious!
From this discovery was born a collection of unique earrings, handcrafted from this deep purple glass gin bottle. Each piece reveals luminous reflections and subtle nuances, characteristic of glass, carefully transformed with an eco-responsible approach.
Like all the creations in the Solstice collection, this piece of jewelry celebrates light, transformation, and those rare moments when everything aligns perfectly.

Manufacturing process
Manufacturing process
- Handmade jewelry from Quebec -
Each piece of glass in my jewelry is handmade in my workshop in St-Denis-de-Brompton (near Sherbrooke)
Each bottle will be carefully cleaned and then cut into small squares using a manual glass cutter. The squares will then be combined according to the desired result. The entire piece will be melted at 1600 degrees Fahrenheit.
The glass firing process takes approximately 15 hours in total. Once the glass pieces are cool, if necessary, a matte finish will be applied mechanically, somewhat like sea-polished glass, and then they will be assembled onto the hypoallergenic frames.
Since each piece of jewelry is handcrafted, there may be slight differences between the piece shown in the photos and the one you will get.
Materials
Materials
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 listing.
(Necklaces, bracelets and rings are only available on silver bases)
Gold and rose-gold color are plated stainless steel base. Over time, the color may become duller, depending on the acidity of your skin and how often you wear them.
Sizes
Sizes
Glass pieces are available in 3 sizes: 8 mm, 10 mm and 12 mm. (Some photos are referenced in the last images of the listing.)

Care
Care
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 reimburse you.
