Tidal Wave Clear and Hand Mixed Green Etched Lampwork Lentil Bead Set

Product Description
A tidal wave sweeps in, olive green and dark ivory have been hand mixed and pulled to make a new glass cane before being added to crystal clear lentil beads. The dark sweeping green is swirled into the base bead to create the wave silhouette. These five lentil beads and twelve spacer beads have also been etched to give a matte finish and a look similar to sea glass. - 25mm/2.5cm/1" x 22mm/2.2cm/0.9" Lentil bead - 20mm/2cm/0.8" x 15mm/1.5cm/0.6" Small lentil beads - 10mm/1cm/0.4" x 6mm/0.6cm/0.2" Spacers - 2mm / 5/64" Bead hole Being handmade, all measurements are approximate and may vary slightly. These beads are made from effetre/morretti glass which originates right from the heart of glass-working; Murano, Italy. They come to me as solid rods of glass which are then heated to approximately 800 degrees Celsius in my torch flame to make them molten and shaped with specialist tools and gravity to form beads, right here in my home studio based in rural Lincolnshire, UK. Use them with swarovski crystals, metal beads or alongside other lampwork beads to create your own individual style of jewellery. Not a jewellery maker but still love these beads? Have your perfect piece of jewellery custom made. Take a look in my gallery to see a selection of my past jewellery commissions or choose from my 'add a bead' range and I will turn the beads and findings you select into your own customised piece of jewellery before shipping. Every bead made in my studio has been fully kiln annealed to remove stresses in the glass and carefully cleaned of residue bead release. If treated responsibly, my beads will last a lifetime and could even be passed on to future generations.
