Sea & Sand Glass Pendant – Long
£95.00
Description
A vivid blue green Lagoon surrounded by golden sands reveals all manner of sea life in this pretty lampwork glass pendant by Julie Fountain.
Cleverly worked sea urchins and shells decorate both sides of the heart shaped glass pendant in lampwork which is an unusual and highly skilled glass art form.
During the process, brightly coloured glass rods are heated by a fiercely hot flame and manipulated by blowing and shaping while the glass is still fluid.
Afterwards each piece is annealed to remove the stress from the glass and to increase its strength. The process involves cooling the glass very slowly in a digitally controlled kiln.
Working from her studio in beautiful Malvern, England, Julie turns simple rods of glass into beautiful, hard wearing pieces of wearable art.
She’s as fascinated today as she was when she made her first bead. What originally started out as simple swirls of colour have evolved overtime into a distinctive style that has delighted customers the world over.
She has been teaching glass bead making since 2007.
Due to the very individual nature of these rather lovely pendants there may be differences in their composition from the images shown.
A unique and individual piece of quality glass jewellery handmade in the UK.
Gift-boxed
The pendant has an extra heavyweight sterling silver pin and hallmarked ring bail, whist the 24″ sterling silver Belcher chain can be changed to an 18″ or 30″ if you prefer.
Pendant Size: 40 mm long
