This piece is a disc shaped glass bead, capped and cored. The base of the bead is copper green, and the surface is intricately decorated with triton, a metallic blue, scrollwork, dot, and line patterns. This bead is capped with handmade sterling silver caps. A note about the colors of this bead, it is a wonderful subtle effect between the base and stringer colors. It is not quite as bold as some of my other combinations are, in different lights it creates a different effect.

The caps are fixed to the bead with a sterling silver tube riveted through the center.

The bead itself is 18 mm from hole to hole and 40 mm at its widest point. And to note, these beads are solid glass, not hollow..giving substantial weight to the bead.


The hole of this bead is cored with 3/16" tubing, allowing design possibilities to be endless. You can simply thread it through a chain once, or twice, or run multiple strands of seed beads, just to name a few things I have done personally with them.

All of my beads are made by me, completely by hand. I use Moretti, Vetrofond, Lauscha, ASK, CIM, Double Helix, and Reichenbach glass. All beads are kiln annealed to ensure strength.

Any questions or concerns, please contact me! I enjoy what I do and I hope that you like my work! Enjoy!
