Welcome to glassfiction, my own line of handmade glass rings! I work with both Italian (the same used in Murano rings) and Lauscha glass and love spending hours sitting at the torch, melting bits of colour and forming new shapes. Every piece is one-of-a-kind and exclusive to The Carrotbox. For more information, please scroll down. New styles added constantly!
I know many of you are waiting to purchase one of my glass apple rings. A big, big THANK YOU for your interest. I will continue to make more, so please check back!

Hi, and thanks for checking out my rings! Unfortunately, a
minor hand injury has kept me out of the studio for the past
couple of weeks so I have very little to list for the time being.
Please keep your eye on the Monday updates!

More Details
- I'm sorry but, due to sizing issues (see below) and limited studio time, currently, I cannot take custom orders. I hope to someday!
- All rings are properly kiln-annealed for strength.
- All rings will have traces of "bead release" inside the band; bead release is a special clay mixture that's used to prevent the glass from sticking to the metal mandrel when I'm making the ring. I scrub off as much clay as I can, but it leaves behind a slight trace that gives the glass a somewhat frosted look on the inside of the band (as opposed to being totally translucent).
- The size range I can offer is limited by the mandrel sizes I have. Also, the size of the ring depends not just on what mandrel I used but how thick the protective clay coating happened to be (that part's unpredictable, which is why I can't do custom orders at the moment).
- Please remember to be careful with these rings as they are glass and glass is delicate! I recommend removing them before washing hands or engaging in any activity where they might bang against other hard objects. Remember that glass is sensitive to temperature change.
- Prices vary based on time spent, overall result and materials used (some colours/types of glass cost more than others).
- Please do not attempt to squeeze into a size too small; dealing with broken glass can be unsafe.
