 The buttons on the left will take you to items I designed using my handmade lampwork glass beads. For you bead enthusiasts out there, all the beads pictured in the jewelry on this site are available for purchase.In the 'Unique Gifts' gallery, find items specially designed to bring "oohs and aahs" from the lucky recipient of your good taste! Don't see the color listed for that piece you need to match a special outfit? Glass comes in a wide array of colors and the beads can usually be made to suit your unique requirements. Just use the "Contact Us" button to send us an email with your question. What is Lampwork? Lampwork is the process used to produce handmade lampwork glass beads from a rod of glass using a torch. I use various colors of glass, powders, or silver foil to make my beads. The beads are then combined with sterling silver wire, handmade fine silver pendants, leaded crystals and/or glass beads to produce a unique, custom piece of glass beaded jewelry. Due to the nature of this process, the lampwork earrings, necklaces, and bracelets shown on this site are representations of the piece that will be made especially for you. Thanks for visiting!
