Helen Rebane

 Helen Rebane comes from Estonia, but has been living in Key West, FL for twelve years now.   All her jewelry is carefully handcrafted one at a time in her home studio. Every tiny piece of glass is individually hand cut, ground into shape and placed on the jewelry piece. I use all compatible glass. Every item is fused, cut, ground, fire polished and properly annealed. There are many steps involved in each piece before the final result is achieved - some designs may take up to five trips to the kiln and a lot of cold working in between before they are completely finished. Each piece of jewelry is truly a work of art and there are no two pieces exactly alike.
