Sparkling Blue Silver Core Bead

Description

I love beads with sterling silver cores; they look so "finished". I used to core the beads with scary tools like a pointy steel bezel shaper and a rawhide mallet and steel dapping tools. It was a slow, nerve wracking process which involved repeatedly hitting the bead with the mallet. Now there are new tools that make the process much less scary and lots more fun to do.

This is an encased floral bead with a black base, a layer of wonderfully sparkling dichroic glass, green and black striped vines and turquoise blue flowers with multiple layers of petals. There are also a few tiny white flowers added for accent.

With the core in the bead, the hole size is 5.5mm. The bead is 11.5mm hole to hole and 19mm in diameter. It looks good on any silver chain (fine or heavy weight) or you could wear it on the black rubber cords that I sell. The Chain in the photo is NOT icluded.

All my beads are digitally annealed in my kiln for durablility.

THE CHAIN IN THE PHOTO IS NOT INCLUDED.

Thanks for visiting my shop.
