Lampwork Glass and Aged Brass Winter Tree Pendant

A beautifully handcrafted glass focal bead captures the essence of a leaf bare tree against a winter landscape. Each tree bead begins with the formation of the landscape, created using multiple layers of coloured glass that is pressed into a lentil shape. The bead has been rolled in fine silver which is then burned off to give the appearance of snow on the satin etched background. The tree is painted onto the bead using thin strings of molten glass. The back of the bead has not been decorated and showcases the landscape colours, so the pendant can be worn any way.

The bead is then annealed for several hours in a digitally controlled kiln giving the glass lasting strength. The bead is then cleaned and the base bead gently etched for a satin finish. The tree has not been etched so it retains its shine and stands out from the base bead.

Each tree bead is unique and your pendant will be a one of a kind piece of wearable art.

This pendant measures approximately 35.5 mm round, and 15 mm thick. It is finished with aged brass and hangs from a 32 inch aged brass ball chain.

Each pendant is gift boxed and ready for giving.
