Lampwork Blue And Black Cat Face Earrings

THE SINGING BEADER

These adorable, whimsical cat face earrings are made with lampwork glass. The cat beads are black with bright blue faces. The cat has white whiskers, and a red-orange nose and tipped ears. The glass seed beads above and below the lampwork cat beads are a matching red-orange. The cat's faces are on both sides of the beads and each cat has a slightly different expression. The lever back earring wires are black matte metal. See the length of the earrings and the size of the beads below.

The earrings come with a small white cotton filled gift box, convenient for gift-giving.

Earrings appear larger in photos than actual size. See all photos including one with a dime, one with a ruler, and one in a model's hand.

Earrings dangle 1-3/4” long (4.44 cm).

Beads measure 15mm x 20mm x 6mm thick.

"Purr-fect" for the cat lover of most any age.

The price includes USPS first class shipping.

This is how lampwork beads are made:

To create glass beads, lampworkers melt narrow rods of glass with the flame of a torch. The molten glass is wound around a mandrel, a thin length of stainless steel. The space occupied by the mandrel becomes a hole through the bead when the bed is slipped away. Turning the mandrel and holding it in different positions allows gravity to help the bead take form, but tools are also used to push and pull glass beads into shape.

Lampworking is a skill that takes a great deal of practice and patience. A lampwork bead artist understands the glass and the torch, and must learn how much heat it takes for glass to flow, how much heat can be applied to a bead that's already shaped before it becomes molten again and loses shape, when to add decorative elements and how different colors of glass interact with each other.
