These studs are special, instead of Helen Chalmers' usual Murano glass base, these used to be a Scottish Whisky Bottle! They break up the bottle and melt the glass down bit by bit adding the hypoallergenic steel backs in the flame as usual.
Handmade from sculpted hot glass, 24 carat gold and surgical steel backs. Surgical Steel is hypo-allergenic. The steel backs are fused into the glass while it is still hot, so no glue is used.
As they are handmade, the size of glass varies between 4 and 6 mm, but is consistent within the pair.
They have been annealed in the kiln to remove all thermal stresses, so they are very durable. Please bear in mind that they are still glass, so they should still be treated with care!
Made in Edinburgh, Scotland.
