The Allure of Peach Pink Glass Beads: A Touch of Romance

In the world of glass bead-making, the fusion of color and transparency creates more than just jewelry components; it crafts a narrative. 
This Peach Pink romance-inspired set of glass beads is a testament to this artistry. 


Imagine the delicate dance of Val Cox Pink Lipstick glass frit over a base of Italian Effetre peach rose transparent glass. 


Each bead is a canvas where bursts of pinks unfold in patterns, evoking a muted romantic aura that's both timeless and contemporary.


The process of creating these beads is as fascinating as the beads themselves. 
The Val Cox Pink Lipstick glass frit blend is known for its warm pink hues that only reveal their true peach-pink splendor after heating. 
This transformative quality ensures that each bead is unique, carrying within it the secrets of its creation.

Reach out to Jean or Jennifer at Nortel to add some of these glasses

Hex Shaped Summer Beads for Period Inspired Jewelry Designs

This set of handmade hex shaped lampwork round beads was created on a base of Italian Effetre glass named Alexandrite, a blue/lavender colour changing glass.


Each bead was sprinkled with Val Cox Moonflower glass frit. 


This frit is an opaque blend of salmon, pink and soft pink tones, primarily opaque with some transparent pinks.


The spacer beads are Effetre Alexandrite showing how the color can shift from purple to blue based on the lighting.


These would be lovely in a summer necklace!

This bead set was created on a base layer of Effetre Tangerine Orange encased with Effetre clear transparent glass. 



A sprinkle of Val Cox Flaming June frit created a nice balance of bright and charming colors.

New Love Sonnet Sets on Etsy

New post I enjoy creating layered beads. This style I have called Love Sonnet as they create a romantic look and feel with the multi-layers of glass and colored frit.
I tumble etch each set for a tactile matte finish.

Set #1 was created with a core of Vetrofond Dark Sky Blue opaque layered with Effetre clear glass on which Val Cox Songbird frit was sprinkled and melted to a smooth finish.
The spacers are Vetrofond Dark Sky Blue.



Set #2 was created with a core of CiM - Creation Is Messy Rapunzel, a light lavender pink layered with Effetre clear glass on which Glass Diversions Himalayan Rose frit was sprinkled and melted to a smooth finish.
The spacers are CiM Rapunzel.



This last set also used a core of Vetrofond glass. In this case it is a core of 
Vetrofond Violet opaque layered with Effetre clear glass on which Glass Diversions Vineyard Vines was sprinkled and melted to a smooth finish.
The spacers are Vetrofond Violet.
