Samara Earrings

You probably played with samaras as a child - they are the winged fruit of the maple tree, and they flutter to the earth like a helicopter when you toss them in the air. Not recommended for these glass samaras, which are designed to show the world your love of nature.

Sculpted from "soft" glass (glass that melts at a lower temperature than borosilicate, aka pyrex, or "hard" glass).

I make all of my own glass beads jewelry components from soft glass using a propane and oxygen torch, and they are fully annealed overnight in a digitally controlled kiln for durability. Beads are carefully cleaned with a high speed rotary tool and inspected before assembly into jewelry. Most of my lampwork glass pieces are one of a kind and may be treasured for many years to come. All of my jewelry comes in packaging suitable for gifting.
