Welcome to Sand on Fire Glass!
A little story on how my glass pendants are made.
These are handmade kiln-formed art glass jewelry pieces designed to look like stone. A kiln is basically a big oven that can cook the glass up to 1600 degrees and carefully cool it back down. I use a combination of glass, glass frit, and glass powder, along with pure silver foil and copper leaf and powder in my pieces. Dichroic glass offers up some sparkle. These pendants will be fired in the kiln 4 or 5 times with each kiln trip taking up to 24 hours. Then they will undergo what we call "cold working" where I hand cut and polish the piece for the super smooth mirror-like finish. Then they go back for a final trip into the kiln. The different chemicals in the colored glass react with each other as well as with the silver foil and copper leaf to produce complex, unique color and texture qualities within the glass. The effect is truly mesmerizing and adds incredible color and depth to the piece. Each piece is truly one-of-a-kind wearable work of art!
If you have any questions, please feel free to message me.

5 out of 5 starsThese look good -- festive, soundly constructed, and as advertised. I will see my friend this weekend and present the earrings. Thanks for wrapping it as a gift! One of the leverbacks somehow let go and an earring was loose, so I opened it and re-fastened it to the card. It was easy to slip the ribbon back on.

Everything I make comes from my thoughts, imagination, sweat, and tears ... and cuts! Lots and lots of bandaids needed. A few stitches here and there too! ;-)

Frequently asked questions
How quickly can I get my item shipped?
Pre-made items will be processed and shipped the very next business day. Exceptions would be for government holidays when the post office is closed and in the case of inclement weather making it unsafe to be outside (mostly hurricanes down here in sunny Florida).
Custom orders may take 2-4 weeks to process. I will communicate the estimated completion time once we start working on the design process. If you need the item by a certain date, please email prior to placing an order so we can discuss the logistics and the ability to complete the item in time for shipping.
Gift wrapping and packaging
This item will be placed in a gift box with a small ribbon and securely packaged for shipping. If you would like to send your purchase to someone as a gift, I can enclose a card that reflects your message to the recipient.
Is this real silver?
All of my products with silver bails and chains use only 925 sterling silver (not silver plate) that is nickle-free for allergy free wear.
Color
Remember that the glass colors will shift a little in different lighting. This is the beauty of fused glass! Dichroic glass looks very different in transmitted light verses reflected light. Hold a piece of dichroic glass up to a light and you can see it change color right before your eyes! I have done my best to capture accurate colors, but the color of dichroic glass is, by nature, shifting, elusive, and difficult to photograph. There are some glass colors that will change color based on natural light verses florescent light. These items will be marked as shifting colors.
I find that the depth of the glass and the rich and shimmering dichroic glass looks much more amazing in person!
Refund policy
I hope that you will love your jewelry as much as I do! However, if for any reason you are not satisfied with your purchase, please let me know as soon as possible.
I will do my best to package your item carefully. In the unlikely event that something breaks during shipping, please send me an email as soon as possible with a photo of the item and the packaging. The USPS recommends filing a claim for a damaged or missing item immediately, but you must file no later than 60 days from the date of mailing.
Items may be returned (less shipping costs) within seven days of receipt (the 7 days starts from the date your item arrived according to tracking data supplied by the USPS). Please email me first, so that I may expect your item.
Can you change one of your drop earrings into stud earrings?
Absolutely! There will be a 48 hour turn around time to process the conversion of a Lever-back or French hook earring set into a stud earring set. I use only 925 Sterling Silver that is nickel-free for my stud earrings.
Shipping info
If your item arrives damaged, please save all of the packing materials and notify me as soon as possible. I will initiate the insurance claim, but I will need your assistance to complete the claim. Once the claim is processed and money received from the insurance, we will work out the proper settlement (whether refund in full or new item).
Once the item leaves my shop, I am not responsible for any shipping delays. Often USPS will be delayed to natural disasters and equipment failures. These issues are beyond my control. If you have a time crunch, please let me know ahead of time and we can discuss your possible options (quicker shipping, USPS vs UPS vs FedEx, guaranteed delivery options from various carriers).
