Constantinople Monthly Limited Edition August 2024
Welcome to August 2024’s Limited Edition, Constantinople! Inspired by the old Istanbul, with its mosaic filled interiors and beautiful tiling, only shrunk onto these 25 special little pairs of earrings!
I know a handful of you have followed my work from the early days of lampwork bead making (thank you so much for sticking around 🫶🏼) so you might recognise this colour combination from a bead set I made about 10 years ago, let me know if you do!
All that aside, I LOVE this month’s special! A copper green base is decorated with a spreading purple and pale yellow which push the metal particles between them making a beautiful tiling pattern, I hope you love them as much as I do.
Over the next year (and hopefully longer) there will be a new mini stud design limited to 25 pairs released each month. Once they are sold out I’ll keep them on a monthly archive page so we can all look back through them. I’ll mark the card on the back which number of 25 you have and the date, and they can be collected month by month if you so wish!
Made in a torch flame and carefully annealed in a kiln overnight to prevent any breakages 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 4 and 6mm, but is consistent within the pairs.
They were made by me, in my studio in Edinburgh, Scotland
