algarve pinwheel earrings
The gorgeous streaky blues of this glass reminds me of wandering through the streets in the Algarve, Portugal and all of the beautiful tile work.
Each pinwheel bead is individually made by me! Each bead measures approximately 14 mm x 14 mm. They hang on (nickel free) sterling silver ear wires for a total length of approximately 20 mm.
My hands made these beads. I use Effetre glass, a little CIM and occasionally Vetrofond. All my beads are kiln annealed, thoroughly cleaned and inspected. There is no paint on any of my beads, just glass upon glass upon glass.
Please remember the jewelry looks larger than life in the pictures which is why it is important to check the size. I have tried to capture the colours as accurately as possible but many monitors vary
