RECYCLED GLASS “SUNDROPS”
If you’re not familiar with Sundrop Jewelry, now’s the time to check out this elegant line of recycled glass “drops” that come in a variety of colors. Sundrop is simple and classy with a wonderful story behind it that will have you talking about your jewelry to everyone you see.
The Sundrop jewelers create their unique glass droplets using focused sunshine! The heat of the sun is focused by a three foot tall magnifying glass (technically a fresnel lens). Artisans put recycled glass pieces under the concentrated heat and then let gravity form the droplets. The beautiful cobalt blue “Sky” color shown left is made from recycled Skyy Vodka bottles. While the light blue “Water” color shown at the top of the page is made from Bombay Sapphire Gin bottles.
This creative process is all done right here in the USA in a Minneapolis back yard. Of course, we love supporting small, woman-owned, eco businesses, so Sunglass Jewelry was an easy choice for us to offer. You may be aware from our recent post on artistic scarves, that we also support independent artists whenever possible, especially those who create art with sustainability in mind.
To really appreciate the science and artistry that goes into each and every sundrop, take a look at this video of creator Tawny making one.
