Hayley Muse Rupersburg is the Richmond, Virginia artist behind Muse Glass. Her ‘Drunk Jewelry’ line features pieces made from recycled wine bottles. The unique pieces are eye-catching and environmentally friendly.
Each earring or necklace pendant is hand cut, ground, wrapped in copper, expertly soldered with lead-free silver alloy, and polished to a shine. The necklace pendants are strung on a stainless steel curb chain. Unique variations due to the natural curvature of the glass make every piece one-of-a-kind.
Inquiries can be made through the artist’s Etsy store.
