Hello, thank you for visiting my handmade lampwork beads shop!
SHIPPING NOTE: Due to COVID-19 Australia Post has suspended all economy merchandise mail services, so packages need to go as tracked parcels (this costs AU$21 to the US & AU$26 to Europe approx. – will obviously combine postage and very happy to hold packages until things get back to normal if preferred). It could take several months to arrive from Australia, so please be patient, thanks.
I also invite you to "Like" my Facebook page (if you haven't already)! And be among the first to know of new Etsy listings and other ramblings ;) !! You can find it at:

There is nothing I would rather be doing than melting glass and creating beads! All of the lampwork beads are created by me in my little studio in Adelaide and they are properly annealed in my digitally controlled kiln to ensure strength and durabilty.
If you are new to buying lampwork beads, SRA = stands for Self Representing Artist. You will find it in listings of beads handcrafted by glass artists who represent their OWN work. That way you know you are buying a unique handcrafted lampwork bead that is not mass produced in some low paying factory and exported in mass quantities to other countries.
I am SRA Member No. G-89.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or requests. :)
If you are interested in TUITION (I am in the northern Adelaide suburbs), please see my website: www.stephaniegoughdesigns.com
This is the new home of Finishing Touch Jewels - (check out my other Etsy shop www.finishingtouchjewels.etsy.com for my feedback and sold items).

5 out of 5 starsI could’ve sworn i left a review for this great bead much earlier but apparently i didn’t, i love this bead especially as the pendant the seller made it into, fantastic craftsmanship and great jewellery making skills when it comes to the post and bail, couldn’t be happier

5 out of 5 starsThese are so beautiful & I can't wait to make them into fun necklaces. The seller makes them & emails pics so you can approve what she made. She packages them very carefully but beautifully like they are a gift to the buyer. She sends an email when they ship from Australia. She cares about the buyers whole experience. Wonderful.

I made this for my mum, she just loves very bright colours! -

I treated my lovely sister in law and made this for her for Christmas!
It's simple - I just love making beads!
I discovered lampwork beads when I was designing and making my own jewellery, so I originally started out making beads for use in my own creations. Although the major part of my business is now making beads for jewellery makers to use in their own designs, I also really love to make jewellery too.
Lampworking has quickly become an obsession, there are so many colours of glass available, each with their own properties and peculiarities. They can be combined, swirled and layered over each other to get some very interesting colours and effects. There is always something new happening, new glass available, new techniques to learn - there is no chance of ever getting bored with it!!
I am now able to offer lampwork bead making tuition for those in the Adelaide area - see my website for further details (click link down on the right)!

Hi, I'm Stephanie and I am a lampwork bead artist, based in the northern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. I started lampworking in July 2008, and I'm so excited to be able to show you some of the beads and jewellery I've made in my home studio!

Shipping
I am located in Australia so please allow time for your purchase to arrive. I find delivery times vary greatly, I have shipped to the US and they have arrived in 4 days, and then the same destination took 3 weeks, it's so difficult to estimate.
Also amazingly, I shipped a bead to a lady in the UK, and on the same day posted a bead to Queensland, Australia - the UK bead arrived first!!! The world's postal system is a law unto itself ;)
However, sometimes because of routing issues and customs, please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges. I will not put "gift" or a lower amount of value on customs forms. Doing that is against U.S. and international laws.
