Red Glass Mushroom Drop Earrings – Blackened Copper

A pair of handcrafted mushroom drop earrings made from copper, pewter, stainless steel and faceted red glass. Each small teardrop-shaped composition contains one sculptural mushroom and a delicate arrangement of botanical stems.

One mushroom rises inside each open frame. Its smooth, individually shaped conical cap has no raised dots, creating a simple dark forest silhouette.

A small faceted red glass bead forms the main point of color in each earring. It rests on a slender curved stem and is finished with tiny rounded metal details.

Depending on the lighting, background and viewing angle, the glass may appear scarlet, ruby red, garnet, dark cherry or deep burgundy.

A second stem ends in an elongated seed-like bud. Its narrow sculptural shape balances the bright red glass on the opposite side of the composition.

Another shorter stem curves upward and ends in a smooth rounded droplet. The different heights and forms create a gentle botanical rhythm inside the open frame.

The stems emerge from a textured base made from individually formed metal spheres. This irregular detail resembles a miniature patch of forest soil from which the mushroom and botanical forms grow.

A fine teardrop-shaped frame surrounds the composition and connects to a small ring beneath the clasp. The open spaces keep the earrings visually light despite their detailed construction.

The two earrings form a coordinated, oppositely directed pair. They contain the same elements, but their compositions face different directions rather than being mechanically identical. The deep black finish emphasizes the smooth mushroom caps, delicate stems and vivid red glass. Depending on the light, the metal may appear matte black, dark graphite or softly metallic.

Despite their compact size, the earrings have a distinctive sculptural character. They can be worn as woodland jewelry, subtle witchy earrings or small pieces of botanical wearable art.

The version shown in the photographs has one smooth mushroom cap without dots, one faceted red glass bead and a black finish in each earring. Raised mushroom dots, another available glass color, a custom earring size or a silver-tone finish may be requested through personalization.

These earrings are designed as small wearable botanical objects, somewhere between jewelry, natural memories and personal symbols. Each component is shaped and finished by hand in my family workshop on the Baltic coast of Poland.

The design begins with impressions of solitary mushrooms, seed pods and small fragments of red light found among forest plants. I do not reproduce nature literally. I allow these observations to guide the material until a new form appears.

I do not usually begin with a finished sketch. The work grows intuitively during the making process — through the dialogue between hands, materials and feeling.

The metal is covered with black patina, carefully sanded and polished, then treated with an antioxidant finishing solution to help protect the surface and preserve its deep tone.

The glass may vary subtly in faceting, transparency, internal texture and shade. These differences are natural characteristics of individually made glass elements.

Because every mushroom cap, curved stem, textured base and teardrop frame is shaped and assembled by hand, small differences in the curves, spacing, proportions and finish are natural and make each pair individual.
