This piece is a disc shaped glass bead, capped and cored. The base of the bead is coral, and the surface is intricately decorated with triton, a metallic purple/blue, scrollwork, dot, and line patterns. This bead is capped with copper filigree caps.

The caps are fixed to the bead with a sterling silver tube riveted through the center.

The bead itself is 19 mm from hole to hole and 43 mm at its widest point. And to note, these beads are solid glass, not hollow..giving substantial weight to the bead.


The hole of this bead is cored with 3/16" tubing, allowing design possibilities to be endless. You can simply thread it through a chain once, or twice, or run multiple strands of seed beads, just to name a few things I have done personally with them.

All of my beads are made by me, completely by hand. I use Moretti, Vetrofond, Lauscha, ASK, CIM, Double Helix, and Reichenbach glass. All beads are kiln annealed to ensure strength.

Any questions or concerns, please contact me! I enjoy what I do and I hope that you like my work! Enjoy!
