This piece is a round glass bead, capped and cored. Half of the bead is ivory, the other is turquoise with its surface is intricately decorated with ivory scrollwork, dot, and line patterns. The bead has been etched for a matte finish.

This bead is a smaller version of my large rounds. They are lighter and more comfortable to wear.

The caps are also handmade by me, in sterling silver. The caps are fixed to the bead with a sterling silver tube riveted through the center.

The bead itself is 28 mm from hole to hole and 27 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!
