Each bead was hand-formed from deep violet transparent base glass decorated with Double Helix's Psyche, silver infused glass, carefully cut and encased under clear glass to capture the iridescence of hues of blues perfect for September..

Hand pulled stringers and shards of Double Helix Aurae, silver infused glass, create the surface text that was then reduced to bring out the glittery goodness!
