From the dawn of
civilization, humans have used natural objects such as shell, bone
and colorful stones, strung on rawhide to adorn themselves and
their clothing. This was believed to bestow magical powers on the
wearer. From hunting prowess to protection from harm to religious
power, beads have long been held as sacred objects.
This jewelry is
designed around lampworked glass beads that are fashioned from
Italian Moretti Glass. The beads are created using the same
techniques developed by Venetian artisans in the 1200’s.
Torch flame heats the
glass to 1700° F, and molten glass is wrapped around a metal
mandrel with exactitude to create this timeless work of beauty.
Enjoy your adornment
knowing that you are wearing a work of art as well as a
handcrafted object of beauty!
