Vitro Bicone | Glass Focal Bead

An End of Day bead in a bicone shape, swirls of vitrograph handpulled cane over ivory. There are a myriad of colors in this bead from a yellow / olive to copper green and teal blues… a lovely mix. Measures 1.5″ long x .5″ at the center of the bicone. See size reference photo below$14.00

 

Dragon Tail | Glass Focal Bead

Opal Yellow slim focal glass bead wrapped with a dragon’s tail style cane. The cane was made with lots of rich silver glasses and sparkles as it moves!

Measures 34 mm hole to hole (vertically) x 10 mm around. 1 Bead $11.99

Pink on the Inside | Abstract Heart Glass Bead

The inside of this abstract heart shaped bead is created by multiple layers of glass… I was going for orangy pink… but I didn’t like the shape. As often happens with my beads…sometimes they just “want” to be hearts! I started messing with the shape and some of the silvered glass worked its way to the surface. In the end, I think it’s much more spectacular than I envisioned. Swirls of metallic glass with glorious pink peeking through… She’s a beauty!

Measures: 28 mm x 24 mm wide. – $15

Blue Sparkle Butterfly | Glass Focal Bead

Whimsical butterfly bead in baby blue with sparkling blue aventurine details! The decoration is on BOTH sides of the bead. 23 mm hole to hole (vertically) x 26 mm wide. $12.00

 

 

Summer | Giant Seashell Glass Bead Focal

Another breathtaking extra large glass focal bead with stunning mother of pearl effects. Rich in high silver glass, this bead is made of four layers of glass all swirling together to create magic! There’s also quite a bit of blue stone aventurine sparkling in there and all is captured under a heavy layer of crystal clear before being lovingly hand shaped.  This bead took over 90 minutes in the flame! The photos above are in full sunlight. The bottom photo is in the shade.

 

Summer measured 40.6 mm at her shoulders (1.6″) and is 42 mm tall hole to hole. She would make a stunning focal for a beach themed necklace! 54.99

Catfish | Lampwork Glass Focal

 

This bead is a STUNNER! I’ve been staring at it for DAYS! The view on the upper left is in full sun and the right is in the shade. See below for the reverse. About the unusual name: My bestie named it!  See that swirl of bluestone stringer on the upper right??? Doesn’t it look just like a catfish??? Since I’m a Southern girl who grew up with a fishing pole in her hands… it only seemed natural to name it after my favorite fish!

 

This bead has about four layers of glass and is decorated with multiple silver  rich glasses and hand pulled blue stone full of sparkling copper matrix. There is also silver laden murrini and lots of swirls. The colors in daylight  are more purple and blue. In shade the colors range from yellow to pale lavender and even pink. There is LOTS of sparkle and that wonderful mother of pearl effect I’m so in love with right now!  This is a showstopper!

The focal measures: 34 mm hole to hole x 37 mm long x 16 ish mm thick. $55

Sparkling Mini Glass Bead Heart

Chakra Colors | Glass Bead Set

 

The colors of the chakra can be used for meditation or in yogic practices. It is believed that – by concentrating on a color corresponding to a specific body part, healing can be achieved. The colors and their representations in the body are:

Red = Base Chakra
Orange = Sacral Chakra
Yellow = Solar Plexis Chakra
Green = Heart Chakra
Pale Blue = Throat Chakra

While these beads were made with meditative intent, they can also serve as just a happy rainbow of colors on your bracelet or necklace.
