Small Glass Squares on Copper Earrings

These square glass earrings are created by Nieves Marin in his Santiago workshop from fused glass and copper. Almost as if it is an insect preserved in amber, a small disk of copper floats in yellow glass. The piece is then mounted on a thin sheet of copper, adding a metallic luster to the translucent glass. The earrings are one third inch square and are one inch in length and hang from a sterling silver hook.
