What makes your glass different from other artists' work?
Better proportions and colors are evident at a distance.
Closer up, details such as custom-forged earwires and tiny "MB" hallmark hidden
in the etching designs.
The biggest difference is in the quality of my etchings. First I draw my
design in ink, then scan the drawing into my computer and edit the drawing pixel
by pixel. The basic drawing might take twenty to thirty hours to perfect.
Then I use a CAD (Computer Aided Drafting) program to squeeze or stretch the
drawings into the shapes I need for the finished jewelry piece. I'm not
aware of any other artist who is getting the fine detail that I am able to
achieve.
What are the ear wires made of?
The dangle earring ear wires are 14K Gold. Most people specify 14K White Gold, but I can make 14K Yellow Gold wires as well.
Post earrings have Sterling Silver posts and ear nuts. The ear nuts are extra large for easy handling. Surgical Stainless posts and nuts, or Silver-plated screw backs available at no charge. 14KY posts and ear nuts available for additional charge.
