I have a show and tell for you too.\u00a0 This wire bracelet is fresh from the studio and features boro beads by a talented Ohio lampwork artist.\u00a0 Daniel Echeverry’s beads were my first experience with borosilicate.\u00a0 \u00a0 If you are not already familiar with boro, I thought I’d fill you in with a very brief description.\u00a0 Lampwork bead artists work with many types of glass; “soft glass” is made from soda-lime, and “hard glass” which is borosilicate.\u00a0 Borosilicate glass requires a higher temperature to melt, and is known to be extremely strong and resistant to breaking.\u00a0 Laboratory test tubes, beakers, glassware (Bodum) and even some French coffee presses are made with borosilicate glass.\u00a0\u00a0There is a distinctive color-changing quality with boro beads.\u00a0 When you look at the beads in natural sunlight, you will see such\u00a0incredible color and depth.\u00a0 The bracelet below is one of my first using boro beads.<\/p>\n

Before I go,\u00a0I have\u00a0one more picture for you.\u00a0 I created a bracelet, and then a necklace using\u00a0a single lampwork bead for inspiration.\u00a0 It’s always fun to select complimentary beads in similar shades.\u00a0 These pieces are aptly named “Brilliant Brunette”, for the many brown <\/em>beads I used and for the brilliant sparkle in the Swarovski crystals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
