Christmas is the time for "tomtar". This friendly little guy has a dark grey body and a dark red hat and mittens. He is 28 mm high, including the hat (wich a true tomte NEVER takes off!).(See picture with centimeter scale for further reference.)

I made a pendant of him together with a sterling silver bead, some glass beads and sterling silver parts. The pendant is 40 mm hgh and hangs from a 1 mm, black leather necklace that closes with a sterling silver lobster clasp. The necklace is 41 cm long.

All my lampwork beads - handmade by me - are carefully kiln annealed for durability and they are properly cleaned.

All metal parts are nickel safe according to EU standard.

I love Christmas and all it's santas, brownies, gnomes or whatever they are called. I love the one who brings the gifts at Christmas Eve (in Sweden at least!). I love the one who only ask for some Christmas porridge once a year to keep watching over the house and the people within.

In Sweden, we call all kinds for "tomte". This bead is a typical tomte!
