What Are Custom Glass Earrings and How Are They Made

Origins of Glass Jewelry

The first glass earrings were made in the Middle East over 4,000 years ago. In those early days, glass was a very rare and expensive material. Consequently, glass earrings were only worn by royalty and the very wealthy. The glass was melted down and formed into beads, which were then strung together to create beautiful and unique earrings.

The glass jewelry-making process has changed very little over the centuries. Today, glass earrings are still made by melting down glass and shaping it into the desired design. However, there are now many more glass types and colors available, which gives designers a lot more flexibility when creating custom glass earrings.

Types of glass used for earrings

There are two main types of glass used for earrings: soda-lime glass and borosilicate. Soda-lime glass is the most common type of glass and is made from a mixture of sand, lime, soda ash, and other ingredients. Borosilicate glass is a high-heat resistant glass that is used in many scientific applications

How Glass Hoop Earrings are made

The first step in making glass earrings is to obtain the glass. The glass can be bought in bulk from a glass supplier or it can be recycled from old bottles or other glass items. Once the glass has been obtained, it needs to be melted. Molten glass is a wonder to behold since it is a liquid in the fire but after a few minutes of being out of the fire, it starts to harden and become a solid before your eyes.

What Glass Ladybug uses

Ladybug's earrings are made with a special type of glassblowing. This type of glassblowing is called Lampworking or Flameworking. Rather than using a furnace to keep the glass molten, a lampworker starts with solid rods or tubes. The rods/tubes are heated to their melting point and the artist molds and shapes the hot glass.

Ladybug uses the highest quality borosilicate to make our earrings.

Ladybug uses the following metals:

• Sterling Silver

• Gold

• Hypoallergenic Titanium

The benefits of choosing custom Hoops

There are many benefits to choosing custom glass jewelry over traditional metal or plastic earrings. Some of the key benefits include:

• A glass earring can be designed to match any outfit or occasion.

• Glass is a non-toxic material and is safe to wear for people with allergies or sensitive skin.

• Glass is a unique and beautiful material that is not commonly used for earrings, so your earrings will be sure to stand out from the crowd.

How Much Do Custom Earrings Cost

The cost of custom glass earrings varies depending on the type and size of the piece, as well as the complexity of the design. However, on average, expect to pay around $50-$100 per pair. This may seem like a lot at first, but when compared to the cost of getting a custom traditional metal or plastic earring, it is actually quite reasonable.

Keep in mind that each piece of our jewelry is handmade. That means that the piece our customer receives has been handblown by our expert glassblower.

Tips for taking care of your glass earrings

Just like any other type of jewelry, glass earrings need to be taken care of in order to last long. Here are a few tips for keeping your earrings looking their best:

• Store your earrings in a cloth bag or jewelry box to protect them from scratches and other damage.

• Avoid exposing your earrings to harsh chemicals or extreme heat, as this can cause them to break or crack.

• If your earrings get dirty, gently wipe them with a soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or cleaning products, as these can damage the glass. Lens or microfiber cloths work the best.
