I've been working on some stained glass jewelry as an extension of the Platonic Solid series. I see these as a portable version of the series. These jewelry pieces consist of the two-dimensional shapes I use to make the platonic solids: triangles, squares and pentagons.
Like the platonic solids, this jewelry plays with the light. I love that the color of the glass seems to change as the sunlight fades or strengthens throughout the day.
To make the pendants and bracelets I worked with jewelry-quality stained glass materials. To solder the shapes I used environmentally friendly flux along with Silvergleem lead-free solder, which makes the jewelry suitable for heavy, everyday use with constant skin contact :). To finish them off I use silver-plated chains and fastenings.
These pieces in particular will become parts of bracelets (which will be in the shop on the weekend), but I have pendants available in my shop already!
