Meet the maker
I’m Isla, the maker behind Wearing Glass. From my Auckland studio I create handmade lampwork glass jewellery, shaping molten glass with a blowtorch to make colourful, organic earrings, necklaces and rings inspired by the world around me.
I've made you a gift
For the next week, every order placed through my website will include a handmade glass droplet, my little thank you for supporting my studio.
Each one is unique and comes with a sterling silver jump ring, ready to slip onto a chain or bracelet.
I've only made around a dozen, so once they're gone, they're gone.
Specimens for Keeping
I’ve been making some small sculptures lately, using clear glass test tubes to hold little imagined marine creatures. They’re the latest step in something I’ve been quietly exploring for a while now: glass as a way of keeping things.
Specimens for Keeping is on show now at the NZ Sculpture Show at The Arts Centre in Christchurch. If you’re down that way, please go and have a look.

Such delicate and transporting pieces, they help me live out a little fantasy that a small part of my house is like Kettle's Yard. Or maybe I just mean they help me remember and dream.
What an absolute honour it is to own these earrings - when I saw them I just had to have them. They’re even better in person thank you!
this my 2nd pair of earrings, husband bought 1st pair as a gift and loved them so much bought these pretty pink earrings. the color is even nicer when they arrived and i’m extremely happy with them, even got a sweet glass necklace as a free gift, totally unexpected.
These delicate earings are well made. The colours are vibrant. The turn around from order to receiving is exceptionally quick, with excellent communication throughout. Great if you want a pop of colour and something a little bit different but with elegance.
My mum absolutely loved her birthday earrings, and the glowing green glass looked just gorgeous on her! Thank you for the speedy delivery, careful packing and lovely presentation too :-)
Love these earrings
Beautiful made and packaged
Will look forward to owning more of these delicately crafted pieces 😀
Came across the website by accident. Love the 2 pairs of earrings I bought
Love the way they catch the light.
Service was incredible. Definitely now part of my go to sites.
These earrings are beautiful, catch the light and came boxed and were true to the design on your website.
I was thrilled when I received this beautiful organic glass pendant from Wearing Glass. The work was fine but strong and it is the most stunning organic shape which reminds me of a poppy's seed pod. I can highly recommend this artist as firstly a great artist but also prompt and a great communicator.
Love the shape and colour of these rings, such unique pieces
Nice simple design. Love the colour. very happy with my purchase
The 2nd pair of droplets I've bought. The first online. There was a mix up with delivery address (no one's fault)but Isla went out of her way to ensure it was sorted and kept me posted. Fantastic customer service.
I love Isla’s glass earrings, they are very light to wear and you can get them in all sorts of colours to match your outfit each day. I particularly love these Opal drop earrings as they reflect the colour of whatever you are wearing and catch people’s eye, I have had several complements already. Thank you Isla for your beautiful work.
Really delighted with this new acquisition to my wardrobe!
Amazing service. I ordered these earrings and had them within the week. They are exactly as the diagram , illuminate the light beautifully and get lots of compliments on them.
Would love another pair if you make the charcoal colour again.
