Clear Handmade Lampwork Focal Bead Wrapped in Fine Silver






Shiny Transparent Clear Oblong Handmade Lampwork Glass Focal Bead Wrapped With .999 Fine Silver

This is a beautiful transparent clear handmade lampwork glass focal bead with a lot of .999 fine silver wrapped around the oblong bead. This handmade focal bead would would make a stunning glass pendant for a necklace or great as a focal for a bracelet. It would look fabulous with some of my clear beads with fine silver wrapped around them to complete a necklace, earring and bracelet set. Just ask and I'll make some round beads for you. They would also be perfect for weddings and bridesmaids attire also.

The photos are some examples of several beads I have made. This listing is for one bead. All pictures are showing how wire wrapping each bead becomes an original as each wire wrapped bead turns out different, yet elegant and similar. I have also shown a picture of how this glass bead would look if it were etched or frosted and is also used as an example of how it creates a whole new look or dimension.

Grigio Verde Handmade Lampwork Beads with Aurae Metallic Band





Shiny opaque grigio verde gray green handmade lampwork beads with a metallic band and a shiny glass bead finish.

These beautiful handmade glass beads were made using a gorgeous gray green glass called grigio verde. It is a rich and luscious grayish glass that can create shades of green. They have a double helix aurae metallic band. Aurae is a very expensive glass that is honey colored and produces the beautiful metallic sheen when worked in the flame. I am getting some beautiful effects with it as you can see. I also have a variety of example photos showing the different colors of gray green achieved. These metallic band beads have a shiny glass bead finish.

Transparent Rose Quartz Pink Handmade Lampwork Focal Bead

 

Rose quartz is such a bright yet soft and feminine shade of pink.  It's one of my favorites.  This large handmade glass bead is made using transparent rose quartz glass. It is a beautiful true "pinky" pink. There are thousands of air bubbles trapped within this large lentil bead. The photo below depicts the transparency and all of the air bubbles trapped within this shiny glass bead.

Red Flint Handmade Lampwork Glass Beads with Fine Silver


These beautiful red flint handmade jewelry beads are great for making earrings, bracelets and necklaces, zipper and fan pulls, most any project you can think of. While you may want to add them to your beading supply stash for a later project, you will probably want to use them right away.  Yes, they are that beautiful!

Shown here are two examples of this rich luscious color.

The first example of my red flint handmade lampwork beads are wrapped in fine silver with a shiny or glossy bead finish:

I have wrapped them in .999 fine silver adding beauty and elegance to this romantic bead. The silver wrapping can vary from a single wrap to several wraps. All are equally as beautiful.

The other example of my red flint handmade glass beads are solid in color and have a shiny bead finish:

Both styles are available both shiny or etched and with or without fine silver wrapping.  However, I don't have picutures of the the etched version.  You can see listings of other red beads by visiting my "red glass beads" section in my Covergirlbeads Artfire Store.  This will give you an idea of how some red etched beads look. 

Red beads are especially thought of around holidays such as Valentines and the Christmas season but they can be worn throughout the year with most any wardrobe you have. The .999 fine silver wrapping around them adds another layer of elegance to these gorgeous beads!
