Jolie - Set of 11 Lampwork Glass Beads

Description

This is a set of 11 lampwork glass beads handcrafted by me in my glass studio.

Six of these beads have been encased with a generous layer of crystal clear and one has been encased with transparent green, then embellished with colorful scrollwork, stripe, flower and dot designs. Also included are 4 matching spacer beads. Colors include grass green, lime green, ink blue violet, violet, light amethyst, and a touch of lavender.

NOTE: The flowers in the center bead appear in the photos to look a bluish-gray, but they are actually a light violet color. The color was made by layering transparent lavender over opaque violet. The lavender color “shifts” blue in fluorescent lighting, so I wasn’t able to get a great photo of this particular bead. I’ll try to get another to add to this listing.

If you need a few little plain spacer beads to match, let me know what colors you need and I can add them to your order. Convo me for pricing and colors (let me know which set you’re looking at).

All my beads are handcrafted in my glass studio, and are kiln annealed. Because they are made of glass, they can break under some circumstances and should be handled gently. Please see my "store policies" section for payment, shipping, and refund policies.
