Handmade Red Lampwork Glass Bracelet: Sterling Silver Clasp

Shiny, reflective, sparkly all in one. This bracelet is made from teardrop Borosilicate glass beads. The clasp is a bali-style 925 sterling silver S clasp, which is beautiful. There are two 'disco' faceted sterling silver beads at the ends for a little more sparkle.

The beads are reddish-orange. I've taken pictures in different light so you can see how the bracelet looks in them.

Tip to tip, the bracelet is about 8"; but the inside (where it would go against your wrist) is about 7.25"

It arrive ready to gift.

What is Borosilcate glass? Think Pyrex! It is quite thermal resistant and stronger than regular glass. It tends to crack rather than shatter IF it were to break.

According to Wikipedia:
"In lampworking Borosilicate, or "boro" (as it is often called), is used extensively in the glassblowing process lampworking; the glassworker uses a burner torch to melt and form glass, using a variety of metal and graphite tools to shape it. Borosilicate is referred to as "hard glass" and has a higher melting point (approximately 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit / 1648 degrees Celsius) than "soft glass," which is preferred for glassblowing by beadmakers. Raw glass used in lampworking comes in glass rods for solid work and glass tubes for hollow work tubes and vessels/containers. Lampworking is used to make complex and custom scientific apparatus; most major universities have a lampworking shop to manufacture and repair their glassware. For this kind of "scientific glassblowing", the specifications must be exact and the glassblower must be highly skilled and able to work with precision. Lampworking is also done as art and common items made include goblets, paper weights, pipes, pendants, compositions and figurines.
