This lampworked focus bead is made of black soft glass, with encased silver foil and fine silver droplets on the surface. It has a rippled saturn band around its circumference, adding to the interest.
It measures 7/8" x 1 3/16", and was made on a 3/16" mandrel. It is semi-hollow to reduce its weight, but with thicker walls to reduce its fragility.
This bead would be a fantastic focal point of a necklace, but can also stand on its own on a chain or cord.
As with all my beads, this one has been kiln annealed for strength and durability, but remember that it IS glass, and treat it with care.
I have tried my best to present colors as accurately as possible but monitors will vary.
