Cooked Glass Creations By Bruce Cook

I’ve bought quite a few pieces from Bruce, for myself and for gifts, since the first time I encountered his booth at a local festival. The people I’ve given his jewelry to have always been very impressed how beautiful they are. Despite the fact that they’re made out of glass, I’ve never had an issue with anything breaking — and I’m not exactly delicate with my jewelry! My bracelet has gotten banged around a bit (I tend to talk with my hands, which is a bit of a safety hazard) and it still looks brand new after about 4 or 5 years now.

GLASS NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD!
Bruce is the artist behind Cooked Glass. This vendor has some of the most creative jewelry I have seen in a long time. Glass tends to be very unique and it has a somewhat fluid quality. When I speak of fluidity, I’m talking about the subtle color changes that take place at different angles. The pieces are made using hypo-​allergenic stainless steel material.
I prefer sterling silver so if I find a particular set I like, he can produce the item according to my preferences. I love that! He was a great guy and very patient as he answered a lot of my husband’s questions regarding the jewelry and his process. I on the other hand was just mesmerized as I just kept looking over everything and trying to decide on something to purchase. I was just too overwhelmed to make a decision but now that I know that he is on line, I can follow him and talk to him about something specific.
I am a jewelry collector so I have several colorful pieces. However, I don’t have a bright yellow and it remains the one color that is difficult to find. Bruce had he bright yellow earrings but no other pieces. Since all of the jewelry is available as sets (slides, bracelets, earrings), I definitely wanted a set.
I look forward to seeing Bruce again at a future show because seeing these pieces on line in no way compares to seeing them in person. Next time I will be ready!
