This bead was created layering raku frit, gold aventurine copper, transparent red-orange, and lauscha clear glass; then decorated further with handmade two-tone stinger. There's something about this bead—it's a joy to hold! An amazing bead that I'll have a hard time parting with.

I can add a gold-filled handmade finding and gold-filled chain to make it immediately ready-to-wear. Gold color will best enhance the gold sparkles in this bead (and is a bit more pricey than sterling silver). $20.00 for 16" chain and setting.

This lovely bead is made from Moretti glass and Lauscha clear & is properly kiln annealed for strength and durability. The bead itself is 30mm long and roughly 14mm at its widest point.
