Furnace Glass, Crystal and Amber Earrings![]() Hook style sterling silver earrings feature topaz colored furnace glass, natural amber gemstone and Swarovski Austrian crystal. |

Earhooks and spacing beads are sterling silver, which is a metal alloy designed to maintain the qualities of pure silver but with added durability and strength. Sterling silver is 92.5% pure, or 'fine', silver. Earrings come with rubber backs to prevent earrings from slipping off. Top bead is a 4mm Swarovski faceted crystal bicone. Center round bead is genuine Baltic amber. Care should be taken with this stone as amber is a relatively soft gemstone. Harsh chemicals should never be used on amber. Bottom bead measures 1/2" x 1/2" x 3/16". This bead is made using furnace glass techniques. The bead is created in layers, which allows a fine silver foil to be placed within the glass. Furnace glass refers to the method of placing layers of glass into a precisely heated furnace until the glass fuses into one piece. |
