Rosata Amber Rose Handmade Lampwork Glass Focal Bead Wrapped In Fine Silver




Rosata Amber Rose Oblong Handmade Lampwork Glass Focal Bead Silver SRA
 
This is a beautiful transparent rosata handmade lampwork glass focal bead with a lot of .999 fine silver wrapped around this oblong bead. Rosata is a beautiful amber rose color that has a color shift. I have taken several photos to try to show this. These photos are all the same bead. This handmade focal bead would would make a stunning glass pendant for a necklace or great as a focal center point for a bracelet. These would look fabulous with some of my clear beads with fine silver wrapped around them to complete a necklace, earring and bracelet set. Just ask and I'll make some round beads for you. They would also be perfect for weddings and bridesmaids attire also.


Measures approximately 26-27mm x 11-13mm
Mandrel 3/32
Hole size about 3mm


These beautiful shiny transparent clear oblong handmade lampwork glass focal beads are handmade by me, Covergirlbeads glass artisan, Charlotte Hayes. My handmade beads are made one at a time in my studio along the Texas Gulf Coast
