How our Hot Cast Glass Necklaces are made

Our Hot Pressed line of jewelry is inspired by the depth and translucency found in our signature kinetic pieces, while pushing through the constraints of production and playing with subtle moments of texture. Each piece is cast in hot glass and hand pressed into a mold to create its form. The way that the steel 3-D printing machine lays the material also leaves a fingerprint-like texture on the surfaces of these hot pressed wearables. You can see a video of this process here.
