I've never met an Elizabeth that wasn't a stunner... the kind of woman who turns heads when she enters a room. I've also never met an Elizabeth that wasn't a little bit...complicated.

The bead is stunning... and complicated...lots going on. It starts with a bunch of hand pulled V-rod cane. The base is a green and it's wrapped with lots of blue green cane, thick bits of blue aventurine and topped off with lots of high silver glass, and lovingly reduced to a simmering glow! This bead is a conversation starter!

Measures: 2 " hole to hole x 1 1/4″ at the widest section.

The glass in this bead came from a technique call v-rod where a custom color was mixed in a kiln. It was then decorated with other shimmering colors and aventurine. I love playing with glass and I think it shows in this bead!

italian glass, german glass, aventurine

If you need this wire wrapped, I charge US US $12.00 to wrap it with Annodized Steel and Swarovski Crystals or US $15.00 for Sterling 20 gauge wire and Swarovski Crystals. Just convo and I will send photo examples!
