These handmade earrings of jasper, lampwork glass and brass are the perfect accessory for everyday casual wear. The brown, cream and brick-red colors will go with a wide variety of outfits.

6mm jasper rounds are hand-wired to plated brass ear wires. I, then, continued wrapping the jasper in a spiral around the top of the bead, creating a little brass bead cap for each jasper bead.

Antiqued brass chain is looped from below the jasper, capturing the lampwork (handmade glass) "pretzel" beads. The "pretzel" beads are a ribbon of cream colored glass that is edged in milk chocolate brown with flecks of black. The lampwork artist, who created these, first melted these ribbons of glass together and then gave the whole thing a twist or two, before fusing the ends together.

Swinging happily from their brass chains, these unusual beads are sure to garner you loads of compliments. The "Pretzel Glass Earrings" are a delight to wear!

I was inspired by the pretzel glass beads, which I bought at the Puget Sound Bead Festival. They are such an unusual shape to design with - a fun challenge! I love how they turned out and I hope you do too!
