This is a very pretty set, with beautiful, wispy, ethereal colours created by the silver rich Double Helix glass - I have used Luna, Psyche and Terra in this set! It includes a long focal bead with gorgeous little concave blue 'mirrors', 5 larger beads trailed round with pure silver, two small earring beads in matching colours and 7 cobalt transparent spacer beads - I can make extra spacers if required.
Larger beads measure approx 12mm across. Focal approx 24mm long.
I love making this beautiful focal bead, it is a little different each time I make it, and this one has a gorgeous dichroic sparkle! It is carefully shaped by hand, and features a swirl on both sides. This bead will make a lovely pendant, it is chunky but fairly flat so it will sit nicely when worn.
Bead made on a 2mm mandrel. Measures 24mm x 24mm x 10mm approx.

I made this bead using layers of glass and frit, it has a touch of blue dichroic glass, and pretty Triton accents which are the purpley metallic spots of silver rich glass. I have also added a trail of metallic bronze colour glass which is left raised.
A really detailed, tactile bead which has a 5mm core, which can be worn with troll and pandora style beads or just on it's own on a necklace or bracelet. Please note, I haven't added a silver core to this bead.
Bead measures 25mm x 15mm approx.
I made these beads nice and big and round - there are 9, each approx. 15mm across - and used lots of silver rich colours like copper green and silver plum, along with highlights of Psyche on four of them, which sparkle like jewels. A really special set which will make some eye - catching jewellery! 10 spacer beads included.

Another take on my happy rainbow beads! These are 5 disc shaped, encased rainbows, 5 encased colour discs, 8 spacers, 2 discs with the rainbows on the outside and a heart which is half etched, ready to thread as a pendant or become part of your design.
Heart bail has a 3mm approx. hole. Beads wound on 1.6mm mandrels.
This is one of my larger hearts, it measures 38mm from bail to tip! I made it using a gorgeous glass which has swirls of blue green and a muted purpley red. The glass has an organic looking surface, like a smooth stone. It is wonderfully tactile and will make a great focal bead or a pendant on it's own.
Stringing hole is 3mm.
This is a slim disc with a large hole, it would be great for a simple pendant, or as part of a design. I have used ink blue and copper green glass, with dots of DH Elektra and a trail of clear drops around the edge.
These beads take me about 25 minutes each to make, as it is tricky to keep the disc shape.
Disc measures 26mm x 4mm approx, with the hole measuring 5mm approx.
This is a slim disc with a large hole, it would be great for a simple pendant, or as part of a design. I made this one using various silver rich glass rods, including ASK silver rattan and Northstar VanGogh caramel. It is finished with dots which I have reduced in the flame to make them a shiny bronze metallic colour, the rich colours remind me of a treasure hoard!
These beads take me about 25 minutes each to make, as it is tricky to keep the disc shape.
Disc measures 26mm x 4mm approx, with the hole measuring 5mm approx.
I made this spacer bead by hand, and hammered it for an interesting finish. It is designed to be used between silver core beads and is compatible with most bracelet systems.
It measures 8mm, with the hole measuring 6mm.

(This one is sold, more can be made, please contact me.. )
I used pure silver leaf inside this bead, as well as goldstone stringer, and layered transparent blues and purples over them, followed by ivory swirls which leave 'windows' in which you can see the jewel - like layers. It is finished with a striped stringer in blues and greens and clear glass dots like little drops of water. Lots of detail in one bead!
Focal measures 28mm x 12mm x 8mm approx. Hand shaped, organic shape.
