a word about boro lampwork beads ~ borosilicate (aka boro) glass is a very unique and specialized variety of glass. Its composition is different from the "soft" glass that is normally used for lampwork beads, resulting in a much stronger finished piece. although more expensive than a softer glass, boro offers some amazingly gorgeous color spectrums when viewed in different types of light, but the colors are most dynamic & vibrant in direct sunlight.

SOLD - Two strand sterling silver chain necklace with a Hint Jewelry handmade fine silver peacock charm and wire-wrapped apatite rounds; ss lobster clasp & findings. Matching earrings are available.

Peacock charm from Hint Jewelry; apatite rounds from Magpie Gemstones; ss chain from High Tide Beads, Hilton Head Island, SC.

These apatite rounds just had to be matched with the peacock charm! "Blu Pavone" means "peacock blue" in Italian - not a very imaginative name, but everything sounds better in Italian!

Once again, I would like to thank Steve Mardell for teaching the class that made this design possible!
