Berry Basket

This loop pendant features a really neat borosilicate glass creation by lampwork artisan Brandie Rosenberry of speckled and spiraled layers of color. The barrel bead is surrounded by smaller borosilicate glass beads in tomato-red and blue hues, glass beads in salmon-berry reddish pink and blue and purple hues, and little silver accents.
The loop is double-strung with strong nylon coated wire and hanging from a satin cord which closes with a lobster-claw clasp that has a teeny starfish charm accent.

Borosilicate glass is a special kind of glass which is actually more durable than normal glass - it is the same kind used in Pyrex and is less dense than ordinary glass and it also requires a much higher temperature to melt compared to ordinary silicate glass.
