"Ocean Wave" Lampwork Focal

This bottle-shaped lampwork focal has beautiful colors of soft blue to ocean wave greens, swirling and overlapping to look just like the ocean waves on a stormy sea.  This would look beautiful with pearls, semi-precious, or just by itself, hanging from a chain.  This focal has been kiln annealed for durability.  For more information, check here in our Etsy Store.

Glass Rice Pearls

We love the classic look of pearls. These glass rice pearls are so beautiful and come in so many colors, they are a wonderful alternative to freshwater pearls since their size is always consistant.  They are oval-shaped to resemble grains of rice and you can find them here in our store.

 

We hope to inspire you with this beautiful bracelet.  There are many exciting patterns that incooperate rice pearls. This pattern and many more can be found here.
