Beach Walk Necklace

Description

I'm always up for a walk on the beach. Sadly, we didn't get much of a summer up here in the north country but the weather isn't stopping me from that walk. I'm doing it from home these days, making jewelry in colors of the sea and beach.!

Turquoise Rondelles accent a beautiful lampwork seascape bead. Petrified Wood along with beautiful cone shaped shells hang from a Viking Knitted to add just the right touch of balance. Israeli Silver end caps and a hammered Sterling toggle are the perfect accents to complete the piece.

This necklace is strung on C Flex 49 strand coated beading wire and brought to a close using sterling wire protector guardians, as well as sterling crimp beads and covers, to ensure durability and pleasing aesthetics.

My lampwork beads are made by me in my studio in northern Wisconsin, near the shores of Lake Superior. Each bead is lovingly hand made by me, one at a time, using rods of Italian glass that I melt in the flame of a torch. My beads go directly from the torch into a hot kiln where they are properly annealed to reduce stress in the glass, helping to insure that the beads are durable and will last many lifetimes. They are glass, however, and must be treated as such for this to happen.
