Stylish earrings with blown glass beads on 0.8mm sterling silver wire

My beads are hand crafted in the hotshop in a similar manner to sticks of rock candy.  I start with a bubble of glass and then layer it up with multi coloured powders and more glass to create patterns.  Whilst hot the glass is then drawn out into a thin hollow tube before annealing.  Once cold it is cut, ground and fire polished to create the beads.

The earrings are presented in a glass vial.

 Size: length c.40mm, bead diameter c.15-18mm
