Rather than offer these rings separately, they are a lot of 4 big hole glass rings. They would be lovely worn simply as a pendant on a ribbon, or could be further enhanced by wire wrapping. There is no end to the imagination of a talented jewelry designer. The first bead is made on a base of opal yellow with a wrap of black on one edge. It is a thin wrap making the design more delicate looking. It is divided with a wrap of transparent green and accented with raised silvered dots. Another ring is made on a base of turquoise with swirls of copper and silvered glass. Finally it has raised dots of turquoise over copper dots. The next big hole ring is my favorite…I think. It has a thick base of white with a wrap of transparent amethyst. A twist of black and Fire Lotus glass is swirled over that. This one has more of an organized pattern of white dots and transparent amethyst dots. Finally is the bright orange big hole ring! The base if of course orange and the raised dots are stacked in white and amethyst a couple of times. Finally the edges of the dots are pulled toward the bottom of the ring, giving it a star like design. This bead is my other favorite. Just my two favorite beads are worth the price that I'm asking! ♥I work with soft glass of many different brands and types. Generally I use a 3/32 sized mandrel unless otherwise noted. As a professional lampworker, my beads are kiln annealed over night for strength and durability. I personally inspect each bead for flaws and I thoroughly clean the bead holes with my trusty Dremel tool. ♥All photographs are color balanced to represent the colors as accurately as possible; however different monitors do display colors differently.

This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am a self representing artist, making glass beads using 104 COE glass from various makers.
I particularly enjoy making beads that are organic. I also enjoy doing sculptural pieces. Anything I do is one of a kind. I can try to be exact, but soft glass has no exact nature.
I'm willing to try new things, I actually thrive on a challenge. But if I can't do it, I'm straight up honest if I can't fulfill your wishes.

For Flower Focal BeadsI was so happy when Grace agreed to try her hand at recreating her vision of these beads. Not only does she have innumerable years of experience creating unique and gorgeous lamp work beads, she exhibits an innate instinct for color, creative vision and perfection. I was immediately drawn to her willingness to listen, as well as the ease with which she interpreted exactly what I wanted. She then proceeded to create immediately, without fear or trepidation, the most beautiful beads. She is a very capable lamp work artist in every aspect of bead making. I shall not hesitate to call upon her services for all future endeavors, and I highly recommend her to any others who have come to expect excellence in custom lamp work beads. Thank you Grace, for a job well done! BRAVO!!
