Dichroic Fused Glass Earrings Set 1 Colour Choice
£8.50
The dichroic glass cabochon for these earrings are all handmade, by me, with love.
Fused in my glass kiln to a very high temperature, 1500 degrees F and annealed for strength.
The cabochons are formed from 2 layers of glass stacked on top of each other. Carefully hand-cut coloured fusing glass Coe 90 on the bottom. The top a full layer of precious dichroic glass.
When they come out of the kiln I am like a child in a sweetie shop, they look so delicious.
The dichroic layer rather magically reflects or refracts different colours as they catch the light (the word dichroic comes from Greek and means 2 coloured).
The back of the cabachons are attached to little silver plated bails using E6000 strongest adhesive and I then attach these to sterling silver hooks so you can be sure they are safe for your ears.
I post these out in a sweet little white gift box. The boxes are 4 x 5 cm so you can see from the photos the approximate size of the earrings (1.5 cm)
I make no promise of symmetry and they are not designed to be, they are handcut glass and glass has a mind of its own and when fusing in the kiln that does its own thing too.
Made with and by Joy to be given with love.
The earrings are all ready to post with postage charged as Royal Mail 1st class large letter.
Please see Details below for more information.

My glass fusing kiln is only small so all my fused glass pieces are very special one-off designs, no mass production possible.
My earrings are all absolutely uniquie. I can guarantee you will never meet someone wearing the same as you.
Entirely handmade cut, shaped, layered and decorated with a full layer of gorgeous dichroic glass on top of a base layer of coloured bullseye fusing glass.
Gorgeously and luxuriously sparkly and especially effective as they dangle so will move a little and catch the light.
You can select the one/s you want by clicking the appropriate little picture but please note these really are unique, there is no chance I can replicate any one so please don’t order more than one of any of them.
Posted out Royal Mail first class large letter in a Pip box so it fits through your letterbox.

Shipping Policy
My Shipping Policy
I will always do my very best to post out same or next day and I post Royal Mail first class large letter or Tracked 24 Small package. I can generally post every day except Sundays and bank holidays.
I post from my local post-office which is very reliable and it is very rare for my packages to go missing. They are very clearly labelled and also have my return address on the outside. I copy / paste the address you supply to make sure I don’t accidentally change it and the only change I do make is to auto change post codes to Upper Case where necessary.
My glass is always very securely packaged to try allow for posties playing football with them at the sorting office so they are well padded out inside and I use tape round the outside, where appropriate, to provide extra bouncability. I recycle packaging wherever possible.
I use some rather innovative (!) boxes for packing my smaller pieces of glass. Takeaway / microwave lidded boxes which are incredibly useful as they are air-tight so great for my storage of finished pieces and see-through so I can tell what is inside.
They also, with the addition of a small amount of bubblewrap, provide a very good protective cocoon for the glass in the post.
And an added advantage is that you can reuse the box once you have removed the glass !
Larger pieces which don't fit into my boxes are sent in see-through popper envelopes and are very well padded with bubble, cardboard and bouncy tape.
I always include a suction hook with each piece. These are as strong as I can find but it is a good idea to reseal to the glass every week or so by pressing firmly in the centre. Heavier pieces are safer hung from a permanently located hook. My glass pieces are as strong as I can make them and I do give consideration always to strength when putting them together but they are made of glass and prefer not to be dropped onto a hard floor.
Most of my packages do not go through the letter box as it is impossible to get them flat enough while protecting with enough padding. If your package has not arrived a couple of days after posting please check to see if it has been left in a secure place somewhere or check with your postie. The only packages I send by large letter post in PIP boxes to go through the letter box are pieces of jewellery and small fused pieces. I do not consider the depth of the boxes, maximum 2.5cm, adequate for the padding needed to post any other pieces of my glass safely.
I post lower priced individual items standard first class but more expensive items and orders for more than one piece may need to be sent signed for first class to allow cover from Royal Mail in the unlikely event of a problem. The system should charge you the correct postage to allow for that. If it charges you too little then my mistake, my loss. If too much then I will refund you the excess.
OVERSEAS ORDERS
Yes please. I love to send my glass to a new home and will happily post anywhere that someone wants it. I do however tend to only set up overseas shipping rates when requested so if you try to order and at checkout it will not allow shipping to the country you need please contact me, let me know what it is you are trying to order and I will quickly flick a magic switch to set the correct price and allow the overseas postage to go through.
Postage Refund
I have attempted to set up my postal costs so they calculate an accurate total price even if you order more than one piece. If I find it has overcharged you then I will refund you any postal overcharge.
