Fall Acorn Glass Bead

Description

It's acorn season. Actually, it's always time for acorns if you love them and love them I do. I have real acorns that I've spray painted the caps with gold paint and wired them to hang from pretty ribbon on most all the door knobs of my dining room and kitchen cabinets. They hang there all year long. So of course I make and sell glass acorns and acorn vessels.

This is a simple glass acorn which looks really sweet when made into a pendant. The base is a rich brown transparent glass which I've etched to give it a less shiny look. The cap is still shiny and is made with multi-colored glass dots over dark brown opaque glass.

The measurements: 19.5mm tall by 15.7mm across with a 3/32" hole. All my beads are digitally annealed for durability.

PLEASE NOTE: The fourth photo is an example of an acorn bead made into a pendant. IT IS NOT INCLUDED FOR SALE. I would be happy to make the acorn that is for sale into a pendant like the one pictured. See below for details.

I offer sterling pendant parts for those who would like the bead to arrive as a wearable pendant. Just add the parts to your cart and I will make the bead into a pendant before I mail it to you. I can also use gold-filled findings if you prefer. Please email me if you have special requests or questions.

Thanks for visiting my shop.
