Product Description:

A charming pair of nuggets in two complimenting tones of yellow and green, perfect for earrings and other projects!

They measure 13x13x13mm (.511x.511x.511") with 1.6mm (0.62") holes approx


Each bead is individually crafted by melting glass in a very hot flame, and I use a mixture of heat, gravity and tools to shape. As I work in soft glass, the beads need to be kept hot all the time to stop them “thermal shocking” and cracking! Once I am happy with them I place them into a warm, digitally controlled kiln. The kiln controls the cooling temperature of the glass and it is here that they are annealed – this process relieves any stress that would be inside the glass and helps to make them stronger and less likely to break (beads that have not been annealed make look fine to the naked eye, but can easily shatter at any time especially if knocked). I send out my beads cleaned and ready to use.
