Hario Handcrafted Glass Earring - Small Teardrop (HAW-LT-003E)

HARIO, a Japanese heat-resistant glass manufacturer established in 1921, began crafting glass accessories to preserve the art of artisan craftsmanship. With 90 years of experience in glassmaking, the company's journey started with skilled artisans handcrafting laboratory equipment and tableware. As machinery advanced, the number of craftspeople in factories dwindled. HARIO now seeks to return to its origins, aiming to pass on the techniques of its glass artisans to the next generation. The company continues to breathe new life into "heat-resistant glass," an infinitely pure material. The "heat-resistant glass" manufactured by HARIO is not only heat-resistant but also possesses properties that allow for easy stretching, joining, and processing. By leveraging these characteristics, intricate designs achievable only with heat-resistant glass can be created. Furthermore, heat-resistant glass has a lower specific gravity than other types of glass, making it unlikely to feel heavy even when worn. These small, teardrop-shaped glass charms, threaded onto a delicate chain, sway and shimmer by your ear. Glass size: Φ4×6 (mm) Chain length: 45 (mm) Materials: Heat-resistant glass, Brass + Gold plating
