frosted jewels necklace
My hands made this frosted jewels necklace. The lampwork beads are made by me! The beads vary in size from approximately 9mm x 9mm to 15mm x 15mm. Each has been etched lightly for a soft glow, the frosting. They are connected with a mix of swarovski crystals, as well as tiny amethst and peridot beads. The necklace closes with a sterling silver lobster claw. The length of the necklace is 20" and comes with a separate 2 1/2" extension for a total length of 22 1/2".
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.
