Item Description:

Strung end-to-end with individually handmade glass beads, this iridescent necklace comes in a beautiful arrangement of blue and amber tones underlaid with silver leaf. Each large lampwork bead is separated by smaller beads made from a variety of semi-precious stones including tiger's eye, muscovite, amber banded agate, and freshwater pearls. Finished with an ornate brass toggle clasp, this necklace is stunning from any angle!

About the Artist:

Her lampwork glass beads are individually handmade at a torch and then annealed in a kiln overnight to make them strong and stable. She makes her beads using soda lime glass (also known as soft glass) rods that come from Italy, Germany, China, and the U.S, which she shapes and decorates at the torch. Her designs include sterling silver components and often incorporate Czech glass beads, Swarovski crystal, and semiprecious stones such as turquoise, lapis, citrine, and pyrite.
