"White Water" Lampwork Glass Beads

White Water

       Here you can obtain one of my latest large shingle bead sets, the beads are all made from a mixture of Effetre, Vetrofond or CIM glass. These natural shape shingle beads are fast becoming a very popular bead and with this size I get to use some amazing colour mixtures. They are ideal for use with silver jewellery, making every piece very unique.

    There are 7 beads in this set and they were made on 1.6 mm size mandrels giving a hole size of around 2mm, this size hole is preferred by a lot of jewellery makers. The beads are all around 9mm by 13mm in size, making them ideal for most types of bead jewellery.  All beads will be sent to you strung on 1mm round leather cord. Due to the nature of hand crafted beads you will understand the sizes will always vary a little, but I will always try to give a truthful measurement in my descriptions.

   Like all the beads I make here in my Fenland barn studio, these beads are all fully kiln annealed in a digital controlled paragon kiln, all my beads are placed into the kiln straight from the flame. After taking my beads from the kiln they are then machine cleaned and washed, giving the buyer the option of using them in their jewellery on arrival.

   I would like to thank you all for the support you have given me by using my beads in your work. My aim is to make top quality beads at sensible prices, giving more people the chance to use lampwork beads in their jewellery and until I hear a good reason why I shouldn't, this is what I will continue to do. Please feel free to take a look around my ebay shop, I'm sure you will find something of interest. Any pictures of your work are always very welcome, its great to see how my beads are used.
