Product Description
This new purple and pink glass swirl ladybug pendant is a very interesting conversation-starter indeed. We started with our original swirled ladybug design, but this time we added six legs and only slightly curved antenna. The eyes are pretty cute on this girl, and she looks up towards the bail, which you can see in two of the photos. Even the belly has a beautiful swirl in it, though only you'll know that when it's hanging normally... :)
Actual dimensions (L x W x D)
36mm x 34mm x 11mm (1.4in x 1.3in x 0.4in )
This listing is for the pendant a-la-carte, but you can add a leather cord with sterling silver findings custom made by us if you'd like this to be ready-to-wear or a complete gift for a lucky recipient.
Each piece of glass art is made in my studio by me (or sometimes my husband, Paul) and properly annealed in a digitally-controlled kiln for added strength. If you have any questions on a piece please email us and well reply quickly. Keep reading for reasons why you'll love borosilicate (hard) glass art...
Top 3 Reasons to love Boro:
1. It's Strong! Despite it being glass, it's actually quite strong! Only about 10% of the glass art you'll find online is borosilicate glass, and though it's hard to tell the difference, it's worth the added benefits, which include lower density and greater durability.
2. It's Unique! Borosilicate glass must be worked in front of a hot torch flame due to its very high melting point (1510*F/821*C), and thus each piece is unique on its own, never to be replicated exactly.
3. It's Beautiful! While technically the same basic chemical formula as your Pyrex baking dishes, this glass has vibrant colors that are produced from carefully added metals including fine gold and silver, cobalt, cadmium, copper, and several others.
