Vintage Sterling Silver Lampwork Glass Earrings 3g

Lampwork glass is a type of glasswork where a torch is used to melt the glass. Once in a molten state, the glass is formed by blowing and shaping with tools and hand movements. It is also known as flameworking or torchworking, as the modern practice no longer uses oil-fueled lamps. Lampwork is used to create a variety of art, including beads, figurines, marbles, and jewellery. Lampwork glass jewelry became popular in the late 19th century and continues to be a sought-after art form today. The swirl design seen in these earrings is a common motif in lampwork glass, showcasing the artist's ability to manipulate molten glass into intricate patterns. The use of silver complements the glass, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal.
