Sundrop Jewelry

"I design elegant, sun-melted glass jewelry for women who love color and the Earth. I love the vibrant colors of transluscent glass with the sun shining through, and am always experimenting with new glass I come across."

Tawny Reynolds designs elegant yet eco-friendly sun-melted glass jewelry in her backyard Berkeley studio. The natural teardrop form and vibrant glowing colors of the glass combine to create flowing jewelry with a casual elegance.

Focusing California sunshine using a giant magnifying glass, Tawny melts glass bottles and stained glass into dainty droplets. Setting these teardrops in recycled sterling silver, she creates elegant adornment for women who love color and the Earth. Sundrop Jewelry ranges from dainty minimalism to big and bold, but always retains that vibrant thread of casual elegance with an eco-friendly twist.

Though artistic from a young age, Tawny had her sights set on a career in science, not art. But science and art are not mutually exclusive. Before founding Sundrop, she developed skills in scientific illustration and sculpting, building museum displays and painting. Tawny founded Sundrop Jewelry in 2005, showcasing her love of vibrant, glowing colors, natural forms, and care for the environment.
