Carnival…
…this beautiful large hole Art Glass bead is fully lined w/ sterling silver .925 tubing & has hand etched copper caps.

So much depth to this beautiful glass bead! Golden yellow ocher & funky greenish colored glass inside w/ layers of clear… pearlescent swirls w/ centers of goldstone. The gold dots that you see inside are a chemical reaction between fine silver dots & the clear that was used. I love this reaction! Exterior decoration in blue/purple.

It was handmade by ME in my Credit River, Minnesota glass studio.

This bead would be beautiful simply strung on a chain, leather cord or silk ribbon… or worked into one of your designs.

**the sterling chain (which allows the bead to be hung vertically) shown in some of the images is NOT included in this listing, but is available in its own listing.

Remember that colors & intensity will vary from monitor to monitor. I've tried to represent my lampwork glass pieces as close to reality as possible on my monitor, but they may appear a shade lighter or darker than on yours.

...all of my glass beads & objects are handmade by me, one at a time, in my Credit River, Minnesota glass studio, so no two are ever identical. I use a torch, rods of glass and some really cool tools! :o) My beads are made of soft “soda lime” glass rods, mainly Italian Effetre & American glasses by Double Helix. After each bead is finished, they immediately go from flame to a digitally controlled kiln where they’re annealed for strength, durability & safety. I clean out all signs of bead release & look them over thoroughly for any flaws or cracks.

Thanks for looking!!
