A teenager and a giant magnifying glass capable of producing 3000°F. What could go wrong?

From melting lines in beach sand, 14-year old Sundrop Jewelry inventor progressed to glass. Years later, our artists continue to hand-make Sundrop Jewelry, working in our backyards on sunny days by focusing that sunshine to melt old liquor bottles and stained glass. We then wrap the glass droplets in recycled silver wire to create our signature jewelry.

Here at Sundrop Jewelry we pride ourselves not only on our unique handmade jewelry, but also on our environmental and social consciousness. We are transparently analyzing every aspect of our operation for its impact, and all of our jewelry is handmade in the USA by people making a good, livable wage.
