Lux is a pair of iridescent borosilicate glass earrings with 24ct gold and fine silver fuming, hung on hypoallergenic stainless steel fittings. Each earring is a single piece of glass, shaped while soft and left to show the marks of the flame.
Greig Alderman makes every pair by lampworking at his studio in Manchester, working borosilicate glass directly in the flame. The earrings were developed to accompany his I Dedico bangles, which respond to Romano-British glass bangles of the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. 24ct gold and fine silver are vaporised in the flame and settle on the surface of the glass, which is where the shifting iridescence comes from.
Colour, form and pattern shift slightly from pair to pair, so the earrings you receive may differ a little from the ones pictured. They arrive on an I Dedico lampwork card.
Weight is a light 'barely there' feel, at 2g per earring.
