This particular piece is a round glass bead, cored and capped in silver. The base of the bead is ivory, and the surface is intricately decorated with transparent aqua patterns. The bead was fumed, giving the base a rich yellow color.

The core is a riveted tube of sterling silver.

The bead itself is 26 mm from hole to hole and 26 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!
