Helen Chalmers Delft and Palladium Mini Stud Earrings

This lovely little pair of handmade glass stud earrings features a Delft base with a little hint of precious metal palladium fused to the surface for a touch of contrast. Palladium is an amazing metal with a silver/grey/purple sheen depending on the lighting. Made in a torch flame and carefully annealed in a kiln overnight, these earrings would be perfect to complement an outfit or as a little gift to someone. The backs are surgical steel, a completely safe and hypo-allergenic metal. The steel backs are fused into the glass while it is still hot, so no glue is needed. As they are handmade, the size of glass varies between 5 and 7 mm, but is consistent within the pairs. Made by Helen Chalmers in her studio in Edinburgh, Scotland.
