This is video is a tutorial step-by-step on how to make repurposed used plate and how I made them into broken china glass earrings. I used a used plate from Amazon, and lead-free solder. I scored the glass with a glass pistol grip glass cutter and then chopped the glass with a chopper tool for glass (link below), and then I use my Inland grinder to smooth out the edges.

After that, I clean the glass with glass cleaner so that the copper foil will stick to the glass. I wrap each piece with the copper foil and use a burnishing tool to burnish the foil onto the glass.
Lastly, I solder the foil onto the glass and also attach the jump ring using a third hand and place the open end of the jump ring flush to the glass to have a secure hold. I solder both sides of the jump ring for a long-lasting result.
After you polish the glass with a glass finishing compound after cleaning one last time.
Then I used a finishing compound.

WARNING: If you decide to make stained-glass earrings, you must use Lead-Free solder!

Here are the steps for creating stained glass jewelry using lead-free solder and dichroic glass:

Step 1: Gathering Materials
Collect all the necessary materials, including glass pieces, lead-free solder, flux, soldering iron, glass cutter, grinder, safety goggles, and a soldering stand.

Step 2: Designing Your Jewelry
Plan your jewelry design on paper or create a template to follow.

Step 3: Cutting Dichroic Glass
Using a glass cutter, carefully cut the glass pieces according to your design. Take your time and ensure precise cuts.

Step 4: Grinding and Shaping
Smooth the edges of the cut glass pieces using a grinder. This step ensures that the edges are safe and smooth to handle.

Step 5: Applying Flux
Apply a small amount of flux to the edges of the glass pieces. Flux helps the solder adhere to the glass.

Step 6: Soldering
Place the glass pieces together on a soldering stand in the desired design. Use the soldering iron to melt lead-free solder along the edges.

Step 7: Cleaning
Once the solder has cooled and solidified, clean your stained glass jewelry using a soft cloth and glass cleaner to remove any residue or flux.

Step 8: Adding Jewelry Findings
Attach jewelry findings, such as jump rings or earring hooks, to your stained glass creations, making them ready to be worn.

Step 9: Final Touches
Inspect your jewelry for any rough edges or imperfections, and do any necessary touch-ups with the soldering iron or grinder.

Step 10: Display and Enjoy
Display your beautifully crafted stained glass jewelry, and proudly wear or share it with others to enjoy your artistic creation!
