Textured Metallic Glass Tube Beads

A set of five lampwork tube beads. Made from dark silver plum glass, these beads have diagonal lines cut into the surface and have been treated in the flame for an aged appearance. This glass develops a metallic shimmer in the flame but the ageing effect has removed this in places giving interesting variations across the set.

These beads are made to order and will not be those photographed. The design will be the same but as each bead is handmade individually there may be slight variations.

Approximately 9mm x 8mm diameter Made on 2mm mandrels All my beads are kiln annealed from the flame.
