Secrets of the Sea Skeleton Key Necklace
This enchanting necklace has an irridescent blue lampwork bead that moves on the key. It is paired with crystals, amethyst beads and a lovely shell. The key hangs on a gun metal chain.
The moment I saw lampwork beads for the first time, I knew I had to learn how to make them. Fire is now my friend! I'm the mom of five girls, but I still find time to listen to my muse at the torch.
Shipping will be $2.50 for the first item, and then $.50 for each additional item. I will be mailing from the US post office, standard shipping. At this point, I am not selling to international customers.
All of the lampwork beads shown have been created in my studio at home, or at Rivendell. I use a variety of Moretti/Effetre, Vetrofond, and Double Helix glass in my designs. The beads have been annealed for strength and durability in my digitally controlled kiln.
