Inspired by the play of light and color, Aur Jewelry’s glass creations immediately catch the eye. The jewelry, designed and made by Bianca Abreu, is crafted of color-shifting glass sensitive to fluorescent light. By way of lamp working, Abreu shapes each glass piece over a 2000-degree flame where all parts are then hand-cut, cold-worked and set into pieces that highlight their intense optic qualities.
Bianca Abreu received her BFA in Sculpture from Pratt Institute with a concentration in Installation. In her final semester, she discovered her love for glass and an exploration of metals with the material came shortly after. Abreu is a Resident Artist at Brooklyn Metal Works and is currently based in Brooklyn, NY.
