I wanted to create something unique and when experimenting with the base bead, I thought that layers of glass and air bubble looked the plumes of a peacock.

Full description
A bespoke lampwork peacock necklace with vibrant green plumes - a quirky necklace for any nature lover. The transparent green glass has been added in layers to create a feather effect and then poked with a tungsten poker to create an air bubble for extra effect. The bead has then been encased with clear glass for added depth. The lampwork bead starts life as simple glass rods that I melt in the flame and onto mandrels. I then add layers of glass and continue to melt and shape in the flame - picture 5 shows the process.
All the jewellery findings (handmade headpins, pendant bail and chain) are solid Sterling Silver. The sterling silver chain is a twisted curb style measuring 16 inches.
COE 104 glass has been used to create the lampwork bead.
The lampwork bead has been kiln annealed to relieve internal stresses that may have formed during the melting process and thus increase the overall durability and strength. However, please note that whilst the bead has been kiln annealed they can still be delicate due to the nature of glass.
Most items will be sent via 2nd Class unless stated otherwise. If you require an urgent delivery, please let me know and I can send it via an alternative mail service at an additional cost.
Please note that the colour may vary slightly from the picture due to lighting.
At present, I am currently shipping within the UK. However, if you require shipping outside the UK please contact me and I will have a look into postage costs.
