Turtle Rock

This loop pendant features a really neat borosilicate glass bead by lampwork artisan Brandie Rosenberry of silvery blues with golds, greens and purples which is surrounded by different kinds of glass in rich brown and blue hues, four swirled blue-brown borosilicate donut beads encased in clear for depth, and some 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.
