The making of rain jewelry from sunshine and recycled bottles
by Tawny Reynolds on Mar 08, 2017
One of Sundrop Jewelry’s most popular colors is “Water.” Not only is it a gorgeous color in its own right - the pale blue teardrops look just like little drops of rain jewelry - it is also the perfect color for the March birthstone, aquamarine. Best of all, these pale blue translucent glass drops are made from recycled Bombay Sapphire Gin bottles!
Take a look behind the scenes at this elegant rain jewelry in each stage of the process.

Long strips of glass are cut from this big square bottle that once held Bombay Sapphire Gin.
Using a giant magnifying glass to focus sunshine, the strips are melted into small glass teardrops that look just like rain drops! Click here to watch videos of the process.
