Natural ivory is the base bead upon which i added a band of bright lime green transparent glass over a layer of fine silver foil. An acid bath etching treatment permits the humble transmission of soft focus light as if from within, as light reflects off the gleaming silver, producing a gentle glow. Very natural and organic and beautiful.
UNETCHED OPTION: (last photo) these beads look very glamorous in a different way if left shiny and unetched --lots of flash! --and if you would prefer your beads unetched just let me know in the Note for Seller space when you check out. I offer these beads in a wide variety of colors. If you don't see the color you want in my shop, please don't hesitate to contact me with queries.
