Sixth Planet from the Sun
This necklace features a large lampworked borosilicate glass focal bead with a pink and purple base which sparkles with swirls of all kinds of shimmery colors, the work of lampwork artisan Brandie Rosenberry. It is surrounded by neat Czech and vintage fuschia and smoky blue glass beads 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.
