Unique studio glass focal beads, handmade to order especially for you. 4 Lime green handmade lampwork glass tab beads. These unique tab beads are worked with silver-rich glass and goldstone for maximum sparkle. Large enough at 15 x 19 mm to use as stand alone focals or put them altogether to make one fabulous piece of heirloom quality jewellery.

The photo is an example - your beads will be custom specifically for you,  by me here in my West Sussex studio. If you would like different colours, we can work together to design the perfect unique beads for you all using the highest quality Venetian glass. Please allow 3 weeks for your beads to be made, annealed and cleaned.

Why use artist-made beads?:

For their quality. My beads are not quickly mass-produced in their thousands, each bead is carefully worked in the flame adding fine details, bringing out the colours and shine. It is then placed into a kiln for a controlled cool down over several hours. This ensures the glass is as strong and stable as it can be, artist-made beads are suitable to make heirloom-quality jewellery that will last for generations not just cheaper summer fashions!

For their originality: Artist-made beads often have far richer and developed designs than mass-produced beads. One bead can easily become the centrepiece of a jewellery design, just used alone as a pendant on a chain or for a fantastic eye-catching pair of earrings. 

For their individuality: Artist-made beads all tell a story. The story of the beadmaker behind the torch working the glass and the story of you choosing such a unique bead to express your own creativity.

My beads are all kiln annealed and cleaned. They are handmade by myself in my studio here in Felpham, England - nestled between the sea and the beautiful South Downs of Sussex. I have been a professional bead artist for over 20 years and work in glass, ceramic and polymer. See more about me and my work at EJR Beads online
