Glass Jewellery – Colour and Light in an Artistic Form
Glass jewellery is one of the oldest and most fascinating forms of adornment known to humankind. Its unique charm lies in the delicate play of light, colour, and transparency – a quality that no other material can fully replicate. At FalcOne Gallery, we create handmade glass jewellery that blends craftsmanship, history, and distinctive design.
Millefiori – Glass with a Thousand Flowers
One of the most recognisable glassmaking techniques in artistic jewellery is millefiori (from Italian: “a thousand flowers”). This extraordinary method became popular in Venice as early as the 15th century. It involves creating glass rods that, when sliced, reveal intricate floral patterns. The combination of multicoloured glass in a single form makes each piece truly unique. Millefiori earrings and pendants captivate with their vibrant hues and fine detail – a true micro-mosaic preserved in glass.
Swarovski Crystals – Light-Controlled Sparkle
Another iconic representative of glass jewellery is Swarovski crystal. Though technically made of lead glass, the precision cutting and special coatings allow light to reflect off the surface like a genuine gemstone. For over 120 years, Swarovski crystals have been used in both haute couture fashion and artisanal handmade jewellery. In our gallery, you’ll find modern Swarovski crystal earrings that combine timeless elegance with a light, contemporary form.
Glass in Contemporary Handmade Jewellery
Modern glass jewellery is not limited to traditional techniques. More and more often, we turn to recycled, hand-cut, or blown glass. In our studio, we use glass in many forms – from subtle accents to the central focus of a design. We combine it with brass, silver, and natural stones to create jewellery that intrigues with both form and colour.
