These hot furnace lusterware art glass beads are hand shaped on a mandrel and tooled to this design. The actual color of the bead is determined by the maker after subjecting the bead to metal salts. It is then flame treated which develops degrees of reflectivity giving the bead either an iridescent, satin or matte finish. Gifted artist, William Berth, uses only the finest raw material on the planet, including Silver and Gold, when formulating the glass. This guarantees the superior quality needed to create the luster and iridized finishes for these wearable works of art! Each art glass bead is a prized heirloom that will last the test of time which makes it unique like you and definitely one-of-a-kind!
