This bead is a lentil shaped, turquoise base decorated with fine stringers of off white. I have pulled the edges of the branches so they would taper to a fine point. This process created slightly bumpy edges on the lentil shape. I like this look so I left the ruffled edge.

The bead has been acid etched to remove the glassy shine.

A gorgeous focal piece for your own jewelry creation.

A lovely lentil shape focal measures:
38mm (1 and 5/8 in) across face of bead.
32mm (1 and 1/4+ in) hole to hole
created on a 3/32 mandrel, 3-4mm opening

************************************************************

If you are not a jewelry maker and would like to see this focal bead made into a pendant ready to wear on any chain or necklace I would be happy to do so for you. Contact me to discuss the design and pricing.

************************************************************

All my beads are handmade by me in my home based studio. Beads are immediately kiln annealed for strength and longevity.

When you purchase my beads you are supporting my cottage industry business as well as other artists (whom I purchase from) and art in general (as I am involved in an artist run studio in my local community).

Your satisfaction is important to me and guaranteed. Convo me with any questions or concerns before or after your purchase.

Thank you for allowing me to continue to do what I love.

Joy!
