Glass and Amethyst Drops

A 1902 opera house chandelier.

These earrings were once part of a 1920s apothecary jar, its weathered glass fragments salvaged from the dusty shelves of a long-abandoned pharmacy. Tatjana Kreiner has carefully reimagined the glass into delicate, translucent beads, pairing them with a rich, hand-painted purple glass bead. The resulting earrings evoke a sense of worn, gentle beauty, as if the glass has been softly polished by years of handling.
