    That really is a very cool technique & I will be sure to include that in the title & my description. Thank you so much for providing me with this information!! :happy::happy::kiss:

    I may have found the artist who made these earrings. The mark on her website is slightly different than what I see on these earrings, but the jewelry she shows on her website has the same "look" as these earrings.

    The artist's name is April Higashi & she resides in Berkeley, California. Her shop is called Shibumi Gallery. According to her website, she has been in business for over 20 years. The website also shows multiple pieces of jewelry using the Mabe pieces.

    I am going to send a couple of photos of these earrings to her and see if she can confirm that she made them or possibly know who did. She also sells other artists' work in her gallery.

    I will let everyone know what I find out. :happy::happy:

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Good find! The website is beautiful. I hope that is the gallery that made your earrings.

    Those might be on the earlier end; the design looks more late 90s than late 2000s, but I'm not familiar with her work.

    I did hear back from the gallery & the artist said they were not her work. She did say that the mark looked like "shibumi" so I may put that in the title when I list them.
