This piece is a disc shaped glass bead, capped and cored. The base of the bead is transparent blue, and the surface is intricately decorated with silvered ivory scrollwork, dot, and line patterns. This bead is capped with handmade sterling silver caps. This bead along with the 2 listing today are the first i’ve used 2 different sized caps on the same bead. One of the reasons i like these discs so much is that the difference in design on each side gives you the chance to wear it on one side, then on the other, its like two different beads in one! The different sized caps also give a different look.


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 41 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!
