16. Glass Jewellery
Glass has been used in jewelry for thousands of years. By itself, glass is
brittle and unimpressive with very little color or brilliance. However, with
additives, it can become more colorful, lively, and durable.
Glass Jewelry: Different Types And How It Is Made
Contrary to what many may think, most glass jewelry isn’t delicate or fragile. It
can be bold, colorful and make a big impact on your wardrobe.Like many other
elements that jewelry makers use in their creations, glass for jewelry comes in
many shapes and forms: from the beautiful flowers embedded in millefiori
jewelry to the chunky, shiny shapes of dichroic glass. The process of making
glass jewelry is fascinating, with colors melting into one another as unusual
shapes and patterns. Because each piece of glass jewelry is truly one of a
kind, it is one of the most unique fashion statements you can make.There are
several basic types of glass jewelry on the market today. Most of it is made by
applying heat to glass rods or pieces so they fuse together. From there, artists
can make glass beads, pendants, glass earrings and glass rings. Many glass-
jewelry makers take their glass pieces and mount them with silver or gold
bezels to make these glass “gems” the centerpiece of their jewelry. Other times,
they can mold the glass into a ring or pendant without using any metal, so it
stands alone.
Types of glass jewelery: Glass jewelry is only limited by the imagination of the
maker. There are several standard types you will find glass artisans crafting:
Fused-glass jewelry – This type of jewelry is usually used in pendants and
earrings and is considered to be a one-of-a-kind work of art. Also called art
glass, these pieces are made by layering small cut pieces of colored glass
together until the desired pattern is achieved. This layered piece of glass is
then put into a kiln and fired to a temperature between 1200 and 1700 degrees
Fahrenheit.
After the glass has melted, or “fused” together, it is removed from the kiln and
cooled. It can then be shaped and mounted into almost any setting. Because
the colored glass flows together, not unlike a painting, the artist often has
limited control over the results. Many glass artists draw their designs on a piece
17. of paper before they fuse the colors, but because of the liquid nature of the
glass, no two pieces are exactly alike.
Dichroic-glass jewelry – This type of glass jewelry is made in much the same
way as fused-glass jewelry, but it has its own distinct look. It is made of pieces
of sparkling, shimmering material that is then mounted onto clear or black glass.
Dichroic glass is actually 50 micro-thin layers of different metals that were
developed by NASA for astronauts’ facemasks to protect them from radiation.
The colors of dichroic glass shift and meld together when they are fired, so
these designs tend to be flowing in nature. After the pieces are lifted from the
kiln and cooled, it is treated like fused glass and made into jewelry of almost
any type.
Glass beads – These are tiny works of art that are strung together as bracelets
or necklaces, or mounted into glass-jewelry rings and earrings. They are made
with a process called lampwork, which uses a very hot torch to melt glass rods
into any number of colorful patterns. Colored glass rods are heated with a
table-mounted torch.
As the molten glass forms a liquid drop on the end of the rod, it is wrapped
around a stainless-steel mandrel to form a bead of any size. Smaller colored
rods are then melted onto the beads to form multicolored designs. After the
beads are finished, they are usually put into a kiln to be annealed so they
won’t break as they cool.
18. Pearls Jewellery
Pearls are generally of spherical shapes. Perfectly round pearls are the rarest
and most valuable shape. ... Baroque pearls have a different appeal; they are
often highly irregular with unique and interesting shapes. They are also
commonly seen in necklaces.
19. Tassel Jewellery
A basic key tassel is made by binding or otherwise gathering threads from
cord protrudes on one end, where the tassel is hung. This may have loose,
dangling threads at the other end. ... A tassel is primarily an ornament, and
was at first the casual termination of a cord to prevent unraveling with a
knot.
20. TARACOTTA JEWELLERY
Terracotta literally means 'baked earth' and is made from natural clay, giving it
a reddish-brown color. It may be glazed for durability or to add color. It was
used traditionally to create figures of deities on festive occasions and
ceremonies besides its use in jewelry and handicrafts.
