This central ocean bead is approximately 14mm x 14mm and is flanked by 2 aqua beads that measure approximately 10mm x 7mm. They are on an adjustable leather necklace with a maximum length of 26" so that it slips over your head. 

Each bead is individually made by me! There is no paint on any of my beads, just glass upon glass upon glass. Each bead is 4 - 8 layers of glass. Around layer 3 I roll the bead in fine silver leaf, then encase it in more glass. When the bead is large I mash it flat so that the silver disperses. This is what gives my beads the shimmering transparency reminiscent of the ocean in sunshine.

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.
