Gypsy In Rio

This loop pendant features a smashing red borosilicate focal bead by lampwork artisan Brandie Rosenberry and Jaclyn Smith which glows with vibrant rich rubies with variations into a deep rich pink. There are bits of sparkles that are not visible in the photos too. It is surrounded by natural Carnelian gemstones and fine faceted glass in deep red hues with 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.
