Wear a melody swelling from the deeps with this sea song. The shapes and colors of water flow in this jewelry set with a 17" necklace and 2" earrings, complete with bronze mermaids. The shell-shaped borosilicate lampwork glass beads are handcrafted by artisans, as well as the soft pink teardrops. Artists at Unicorne Beads in California create each bead by hand, using a torch flame to shape the bead and finishing the bead in a high temperature kiln for strength and durability. The rich colors and patterns are created through use of dichroic glass, a glass developed for aerospace with multiple layers of metal oxides that happens to showcase brilliant optical properties in addition to the resiliency required for spacesuits. Bronze mermaids reach for rings in the 2" drop earrings featuring the lampwork glass shell beads and A grade freshwater rice pearls. The necklace is secured with an easy to fasten bronze hook and eye clasp, and the earrings have solid bronze ear wires.

Cost: $115.00 USD
