artful jewelry

These juice glasses feature colorful accents in bright confetti colors. The set of six is handcrafted by skilled artisans for the Novica Handblown Collection.

Please note that as each piece is individually handmade, slight variations in the shape and size of the glass are likely, making every item a unique example of blown-glass craftsmanship. Tiny bubbles within the surface attest to their authenticity.

Brazil’s Claudia Castelao is an expert in bold and eco-friendly jewelry like these irresistible dangle earrings showcasing hand-carved recycled eucalyptus wood shavings that form two exquisite roses. The delicate flowers are dyed by hand in a vivid hue that effortlessly demands attention and artfully framed against oval plates fashioned from natural horn. Opulent 18k gold-plated accents are skillfully incorporated, infusing an aura of elegance and style.

Artisan Rosario Leiva of Guatemala brings new life to recycled CDs in these beautiful and fascinating dangle earrings with sterling silver hooks. She melts the CD scrap in a mold, then artfully applies droplets of acrylic to achieve her desired colors--purple, turquoise, and yellow for this pair of earrings--and then fuses the CD material and acrylic together using a blow torch. The resulting effect is magnificent translucent color punctuated with air bubbles that create unique patterns.

About her work, the artisan says: "I love creating jewelry with materials that most people would discard. Let's all take the time to think about the endless opportunities we have to give 'waste' materials another chance."
