Sea Breeze Heart Pendant Extra Large
£135.00
Description
Pale blue swirling seas, sandy beaches and cleverly worked sea urchins appear on both sides of this sea breeze inspired heart pendant necklace by Julie Fountain.
The design combines a mixture of the palest blue etched opaque glass, transparent glass and a generous wave of melted fine silver droplets.
Individually handmade from Italian glass in the unusual and highly skilled art form known as lampworking.
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 slight differences in their composition from the images shown.
Unique and individual pieces 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 sterling silver Belcher chain is available in a choice of two lengths, 24" or 30".
Pendant Size: approx 37 x 65 mm long
