 About The Artist
Paula Hall has been creating unique display, wall, and wearable glass art since 2001. Her designs range from dichroic pendants, earrings and beaded jewelry to bottle stoppers, nightlights, and wall art.
Each piece is hand cut and layered, heated in a kiln, annealed (cooled slowly) and then examined for quality. Some are ready for sale immediately after cooling. Most pieces are grinded for reworking and shaping then reheated in the kiln for a final fire polish. Some pieces are reworked and refired several times for optimum brilliance.
Popular among her collection are cabochons (un/grooved) for designers who work with precious metal, wire wrapping, beads, and PMC clay.
Making all of her jewelry by hand, she loves utilizing natural gemstones and precious metals with her beaded jewelry. Each piece is made with purpose and is designed to create its own unique statement. No two pieces are ever the same.
Paula currently lives in Tampa, Florida with her husband, David, of five years and her beautiful two-year old son, Sean.

Inspirations
Color has always inspired Paula. She finds her creative rhythm in deep, rich, vibrant shades and colors that “pop.”
Paula’s passion is in working with Dichroic glass because of its reflective properties and feels the colors are spectacular, as they change with every movement of the finished piece.
Paula’s pendants come in many shapes and sizes from subtle to wild, understated to extravagant. Her main focus is wearable art. She is always trying out new techniques and thrives on reinventing herself and her art.
Paula's philosophy is simple, “We are all unique; so should be our jewelry!”
