aventurinedream

Aventurine Dream is whimsical lampwork glass beads & jewelry. Cat beads, bird beads & other lampwork critters. Fun earrings, glass rings, pendants & beads for jewelry projects or charm bracelets.

Many of my beads are cat beads inspired by own two cats but I also do bird beads, fish beads, and other animal beads and I enjoy making fun animal amulets and talismans: Japanese lucky cats, colorful scarabs and more.

Handmade lampwork glass means I'm melting colored glass rods in a flame and shaping them into beads, buttons, rings, etc. All the decoration is glass - fine lines are "drawn" on with filaments of glass. Like my Aventurine Dream Facebook page and you can see some pictures of my studio and me in action making a lampwork bird bead there.

I make all the assembled glass bead jewelry you see in my shop: beaded bracelets or pendants that feature my handmade lampwork beads, cat dangle earrings and bird dangle earrings made with sterling silver findings.
I hope something in my shop will make you smile.
