Custom-made glass beads

Custom-made glass beads

Glass beads have been made for centuries, being used for adornment and trade. The glass beads used in my jewelry I make myself.

I create the glass beads using a torch combining oxygen and propane. I melt long rods of glass onto a steel rod and form a round bead, then use various colors of glass to decorate the bead.

When decorating and forming are complete, the bead is then placed in a 975 degree kiln where it is annealed (slowly cooked) overnight.
