Solar Flares - Electroformed Boro Lampwork Pendant (sra)

Description

The glass compression "bead" was created in the flame and put directly into kiln so that it is properly annealed. I LOVE the way it has the look of the fire in an opal!! It was then attached to a vintage brass filigree and electroformed.

Electroforming is the process of transferring a copper form (vs a thin copper plate) onto an object. This process for this particular pendant took approximately 14 hours. The copper has been patinaed for an Olde World look. It measures approximately 1 3/8 inches in diameter.

This pendant can be hung from a silk cord using its sterling silver bail. The copper has been coated with a microcrystalline wax to protect the patina.

All of my beads are created by me in my little studio in New England. While the glass has been digitally kiln annealed directly from the torch, it is glass and may break if mishandled.

Lampwork glass can break; therefore they should not be given to children.

I try to use pictures that are true to color, but please remember that monitors vary. This was photographed indoors with daylight bulbs.
