These Glass Blackberry Earrings feature my handmade glass blackberry beads hung on Sterling Silver marquise wire findings. Each blackberry is accented by light green handmade glass calyx, so it looks to be just picked from the garden. These glass beads are hand-formed one cell at a time in the flame of a torch from colored glass. As a result the color will not rub, flake or chip off, and no two blackberries are exactly alike.
Like real blackberries each of these glass blackberries contains a few reddish not-quite-ripe cells and the center plug that remained inside when it was picked. However, I will be happy to make you a pair of earrings with completely ripe blackberries if you prefer. There is also room for some variation in the size of the blackberries. I normally make them about 13mm high at the tallest point, but they can be as large as 16mm or as small as 12mm.
Alternative earring findings including leverbacks, posts and screwbacks are available upon request. Other blackberry earring variations and matching blackberry necklaces can be seen on the Blackberries Page of this site. Glass Blackberry earrings can also be custom made with high-karat gold or platinum findings and accented with different Swarovski Crystals or gemstone beads.
