Recycled Aqua Mason Jar Glass Earrings

The aqua glass in these earrings started as vintage blue mason jars. That’s the detail to pay attention to if you like old glass: its recognizable color survives a change of purpose. The handmade earrings pair the recycled glass with vintage lace-style settings, so the material and the design share an old-fashioned feel.

At approximately 3/4 inch in total hanging length, these suit a small touch of color, not a big dangling centerpiece. The lever-back closure is useful if you prefer earrings that close behind the ear. They’re available in .925 sterling silver or rhodium-plated brass with surgical steel ear wires, so check the metal option when ordering.

Each pair includes “The Story of the Glass,” a detail worth keeping with them if they’re a gift. A recipient who collects antique bottles or wears vintage-inspired jewelry has a specific reason to appreciate these. The connection to an ordinary household object gives you something more interesting to tell them than just where you found the earrings.
