About Our Specialty Beads
Lampworked
The artisan heats coloured glass rods with a torch and then, once it is hot, wraps it around a mandrel. The steel tool turns continuously to form a bead. While the glass is hot, the glassmaker adds colours and designs like flowers.
Millefiori
Flowers are part of the structure of each bead. They are not just surface images. A side view of the beads shows that the lines of the petals go all the way through. The term for these beads is from two Italian words meaning Beads with a Thousand Flowers. Although artisans have made these types of beads in other countries, they became best known in Murano, Italy.
Carved Roses
The flower beads in the photo are carved wood. They are stained and coated with layers of resin-based polymer. Although they are the same colour as Cinnabar, they are non-toxic.
Glass Cat's Eye
These fiber optic beads are high-quality glass with a smooth texture. The colours capture and reflect the light in a band across the center, like the eye of a cat.
Acrylic
Acrylic beads are lightweight and low cost. They are made from plastic, lucite, and resin.
Knotted Cord
Sometimes, we use knotted cord instead of beads. It is metal-free, with enough space to hold onto the knotted beads. These are great for nickel allergies, praying quietly at night, or bringing into an MRI machine.
