Seaside Punchbowl

Inspired by recent vacation at the coast with many visits to local tidepools, this pendant features a neat borosilicate glass bead at the center which has been hand formed by artisan lampworker Angie Pendleton to resemble a stone in hues of earthy sand, chocolate, black, khaki, bronze, and cream, and lightly encased in clear for depth. It is surrounded by faceted Silvermist gemstones, green-blue swirled borosilicate donut beads that have been deeply encased in clear for depth, and faceted Czech glass beads in blue, purple, and creamy pink 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.

Necklace also looks great on chocolate brown cord - just let me know in Notes To Seller if you want it on a color of cord other than the black shown here!
