Handmade Glass Stud Earrings – Blue Whisky Bottle

A pair of tiny handmade glass studs with a quietly brilliant backstory. These began life as a blue whisky bottle, broken down and melted bit by bit in a flame until the recycled glass became a pair of small, jewel-like studs. The result is a soft, bottle-blue tone that catches the light beautifully and sits neatly on the earlobe, easy to wear every day or as a thoughtful little gift for a jewellery lover.

Helen Chalmers makes every pair herself in her Scottish studio, using a technique called lampworking where glass is melted in a torch flame. The surgical steel posts are fused into the glass while it is still hot, then the earrings are carefully cooled in a kiln overnight. It is slow, patient work, and part of what makes her small-batch pieces so special to stock at our Worcester Park boutique.
