Day 19 - Bloom hoops

An experiment with a hoop style earring and of course flowers it had to be. Because spring is in the air. 

Each bloom bead is individually made by me! Each bead measures approximately 20 mm x 4 mm. They hang on (nickel free) sterling silver hoops that are 35mm.

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.
