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
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
The rich mother of pearl effect in this heart is breathtaking… kinda like waking up from a dream!

Red = Base Chakra Orange = Sacral Chakra Yellow = Solar Plexis Chakra Green = Heart Chakra Pale Blue = Throat Chakra Dark Blue = Third Eye Chakra Amethyst = Crown 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.

I’ve been pulling pounds of ivory and black stringer for all those glass tiger beads I’ve been working on… and when I have a clump of such gorgeous contrast on the end of my pull rods, I can’t stand to waste it! So I make little hearts. I was struck by how elegant and plain they look and… well, I just could live with that! So I added frit – but ONLY to one side of the bead! So these glass beads have a split personality! One side is understated black and pale ivory, the other will have an explosion of color! Wear whichever side suits your mood!
Duo Split Personality Heart #2 is blue, green, rust and lavender on the reverse and measures 17 mm wide x 30 mm tall including glass bail. $15.00
