This listing is for 1 Handmade Lampwork Wavy Clear 15mm Lentil Bead.

These beads feature a crystal clear transparent glass as their bases. Each piece features a splashing wavy represented by depths of hand-pulled silvered ivory glass lying on the clear. The twist reinforces the sea analogy. These striking lentils measure 15mm x 15mm, approximately, and have been hand-wound on 1/16" (1.59mm) mandrels.

Every effort is made to send you beads that "match" as to size, as well as in appearance, and shape. I understand how important your jewelry designs are to you, which is why I make the selections myself.

A most important part of the creation process involves the annealing of the bead. As annealing has a direct effect on the longevity, strength, durability, and continuing beauty of the piece, I use a kiln designed for temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperatures are controlled digitally, by a state-of-the-art Fuji computerized controller, which is calibrated for optimum results.

I'm so excited to introduce you to my newest creation... Designers fancy. The idea behind Designers Fancy is to allow my buyers to decide exactly which lampwork beads they want to purchase. With Designers Fancy you have the freedom to create any line of jewelry your heart desires, without worrying about whether you'll have access to the lampwork beads you need. The inspirations behind Designers Fancy are the stunning jewelry designs I've seen my talented buyers create through the years. Seeing all the creativity and love that goes into these little works of art that can never be recreated simply because the artist isn't able to get their hands on more of the lampwork beads they feature in their designs inspired me to change the way artisan beads are made and sold; and so Designers Fancy was borne.

When I hand select your beads for shipping I am always careful to pick beads that are as close together in size and shape as I can get them.
