Ocean Calliope
An amazingly vibrant and beautiful borosilicate glass creation by lampwork artisan Brandie Rosenberry sits at the center of this loop pendant which features lovely blues and purples topped with rich cinnamon, bits of coral red, and deeper blues.
The focal bead is surrounded by faceted glass beads in rich blues and turquoise 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.
