Beatitude

I love the focal bead used in this loop pendant. It's a watery swirled luscious rainbow - a borosilicate glass beauty by Rose of Rosebeads-n-Bottles. It is surrounded by surrounded by swirled multi-colored borosilicate donut beads encased in clear for depth, some warm carnelian gemstones, some little faceted fuchsia glass beads 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.
