Producing modern, clean and elegant lampwork jewelry.
One of my favorite comments about my work is that my beads are like 'liquid color.'
This necklace of 7 interlocking lampwork glass beads was handmade in my studio from Effetre Italian glass. It is a continuation of the exploration of pressing glass that began in my original Droplet series and which I am calling my Interlaced Droplet series. It is comprised of a glass donut bail and pressed glass circles made of transparent golden taupe. The pendant discs are set parallel and perpendicular to the glass bail. The center bead has 4 alternating discs decreasing one disc for each bead to the sides, with a single droplet at each end. The beads were designed to sit snugly next to each other. They are well-fused and are shown here with spacers that will be included with the 7 beads in this modern and minimalist set. I am truly inspired by the possibilities in the manipulation and organization of these glass discs, and will continue this exploration to see where it leads me. The center bead is approximately 2 1/4" long, and the bib-style glasswork measures about 2 3/4" across.
The beads have been kiln annealed for longevity and cleaned with a diamond reamer. The beads were created on a 3/32" mandrel. The 16" 1mm sterling silver omega necklace shown is included in the price of the necklace.
