Older lampwork beads in my ETSY store. .

Gingko Glass Bead Pendant | Seven Seas

I dropped this gorgeous off mandrel gingko on a tile floor and broke off the glass bail! I was so sad! He staying on my work table for almost a year! He was too pretty to toss! I ground any sharp edges off and wire wrapped him in sterling silver, creating a generous bail. 1.5″ wide x 1.5″ tall. $24.00

Lampwork Antique Key | Borealis

This is such a subtle beauty. It may not look like much at first glance but, look again and you’ll see all these dark, mysterious sky colors. Rich blues in navy and steel, a flash of green or purple, and lots of silver glass shimmer! The key is 2 3/4″ long and the bead was built on the shank of the key in the flame. The key has been polished with a sealing wax to prevent rust and protect your clothing.

SOLD!

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

 

Feathered Opal | Focal Glass Bead

At 26 mm, this is a very tiny focal for me!  But she’s still oh so lovely! Creamy blushing opal yellow base. Feathered with reactive high silver and rare glasses.

 

26 mm hole to hole x 9 mm wide. $12.oo

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

Zebra Heart | Glass Bead Focal

OMG! I thought I sold this bead at some show AGES ago. But I was cleaning out some travel boxes in my office and there she was … all by her lonesome! This bead is really striking in person…lighter on one side… darker on the other. Made to suit your moods! The darker side has a slight metallic look. Little pink flower on the upper right of each side.

 

Measures: 27.4 mm hole to hole (vertical) x 25 mm at the shoulders. 1/16th hole  (only mentioned because I often use a bigger mandrel.) If you don’t wire wrap… I do! I can turn this into a pendant for $12.00 (sterling and Swarovskis). Just ask!   1 Bead – $19.99

 

 

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

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

Sparkling Mini Glass Bead Heart

 

 

A heart full of rich silver glass that creates the mother of pearl sparkles under crystal clear!

This would look great on one of my friction clasp necklaces. Measures: 28 mm tall x 17 mm at the shoulders. $9.00

 

 

 

Basket Weave | Glass Bead Focal


I’m trying to make smaller focals… A struggle for a gigantic bead lover like me. ;0)

Rectangular bead, brown basket weave base with lavender flowers and vine cane design. Slightly different on both sides. 20 mm hole to hole x 15mm x 10 mm thick. $7.00
