I have been toying with the idea of capturing a stone or object within a glass bubble for a while. However, it wasn't until my sister Randi became pregnant with my nephew that I was fully inspired to create this collection. The symbolism of a precious gem or metal in a protective casing of glass is fairly obvious. I create each piece by hand by blowing a bubble into clear glass, dropping in a stone or metal, then melting the glass closed. The pieces of the Eli collection make perfect gifts for both mothers and expectant mothers.         Silver Eli Necklace - Glass, Sterling Silver, and Fine Silver - $70   Pink Eli Necklace - Glass, Sterling Silver, and Pink Sapphire - $90   Blue Eli Necklace - Glass, Sterling Silver, and Blue Sapphire - $90                     Silver Eli Earrings - Glass, Sterling Silver, and Fine Silver - $120   Pink Eli Earrings - Glass, Sterling Silver, and Pink Sapphire - $140   Blue Eli Earrings - Glass, Sterling Silver, and Blue Sapphire - $140                                     Copyright 2012 MCS New York
