Beautiful boro Lampwork beads with vintage copper chain in this one of a kind three-strand necklace.
We like to show very large photos of our work so you can see the details, but because these enlarged photos can be misleading we also put the measurements in the item descriptions or show one photo with a size reference. Thanks!
Created with:
- Borosilicate "Boro" Lampwork Glass Beads: Lampwork beads are created by melting various colored glass in a torch and manipulating the molten glass around a metal rod then baking the bead in a kiln for a long-lasting, durable piece of art. Boro beads are made the same way as regular lampwork, but with a much harder glass (like Pyrex), making the item harder to work with at times, and using a much higher heat. Note: We only buy lampwork from people we know.
- Copper: Copper is rather supple in its pure state and has a pinkish luster which is (besides gold) unusual for metals, which are normally silvery white. Copper was known to some of the oldest civilizations on record, and has a history of use that is at least 10,000 years old. Copper occupies the same family of the periodic table as silver and gold and has a significant presence as a decorative metal art.
The size (interior measurement) of the shortest strand on the necklace is 16 inches.
Note: Size and length are not the same thing. Length is a measurement on a ruler, which doesn't take into account large beads that would make the jewelry wear smaller. Size is the interior measurement, usually taken on a specialized sizing devise, to determine what the true size of a piece is. PLEASE TAKE CARE TO READ THE LISTED SIZE OF OUR JEWELRY PIECES.
Our one-of-a-kind designs are not repeated so once a jewelry piece is sold that design is gone forever.
