Before we decide to put a design into production with any of our types of glass, we must make a prototype first to see if the design will work. Acrylic sheets are one of our favorite materials to work with for this step of the designing process. They have a similar thickness, are transparent, and are wallet friendly. We can also use our in-house laser cutter and can even replicate the assembly process with the acrylic. -Large Kinetic Deco Chest PIece Necklace in Clear

"I'm confused, I thought you made your jewelry from glass plates?"
The blown glass plate is where we started, but glass is too versitile to stick to just one technique. We like to think of the "Plate" in Broken Plates as the umbrella to our brand, speaking to all kinds of glass. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #BrokenPlates #GillianPreston #glassjewelry #contemporaryjewelry #glassartist #craft #glassofinstagram #alternativematerials #jewelrydesigner ⁠ #glassart #magicglass #kilnmagic #blownglass #glassblowing #furnaceblownglass #coldworking ⁠

Will our rainbow glass be visible in our kinetic necklaces?
Once we finish coldworking or sanding the edges of our freshly waterjet cut glass and firepolish them in the kiln, we'll know if our new iridescent glass will be suited for our line of kinetic wearables, or if we should stick to the more forward facing designs. ⁠ ⁠ #waterjet #cncdesign #technologyandfashion #3Dprinting #CADdesign #rhinoglass ⁠#BrokenPlates #GillianPreston #glassjewelry #contemporaryjewelry #craft #alternativematerials #blownglass #glassblowing #jewelrydesigner #prototyping

While the glass pieces are strong when surrounded by their buddies (assembled together on a necklace), these keyholes will protect the wearer in the case of a severe accident #glassartist #glassjewelry

Recycled glass?
While I do work with recycled, reclaimed, and found glass....The majority of my glass jewelry is made using either blown glass or sheets of art glass that I purchase from @bullseyeglass #glassartist #glassjewelry #recycledglass ⁠
