These unique Lavender Glass Bead Pendants are individually sculpted by Pelindaba's Andrea Kiernan. This new design, modeled after the varieties of the L. stoechas species of lavender, displays a grouping of long flower petals above the main flower head. This species is the first of the lavenders to turn purple in the early spring and the last to die back with the onset of winter. These handcrafted glass bead pendants are wrapped in sterling silver wire and topped with a trio of sterling silver flower petals. The colors are inspired by actual lavender varieties. See below.
Crafted using an oxy-propane torch from colored borosilicate (or Pyrex) glass rods, each bead is digitally kiln annealed for maximum durability and finally strung with all sterling silver findings and Swarovski crystals.
The NEW Purple Rose color simultaneously displays regally rich deep purples and warmer velvety raspberry tones. While all of the other colors offered are crafted from Borosilicate glass color these NEW Purple Rose Beads are made using imported soft glass from Germany.
These lavender beads have been published in Bead & Button, Bead Unique, Bead Style magazines, Beadazzled: Where Beads and Inspiration Meet and most recently, in 2008, Andrea's lavender beads appear in Bead Review 3, a book "encapsulating a year’s worth of compelling interpretations from the contemporary art glass bead movement." Look for Andrea's Lavender Glass Bead Jewelry in the Spring 2009 issue of Stringing Magazine.
Lavender Stoechas Pendants measure approximately 1" in length and come strung on a 18" sterling silver snake chain. Each piece arrives packaged in a protective gift box filled with Pelindaba's fragrant organic lavender buds.
You are purchasing a unique, copyrighted work of art- no two lavender glass beads are exactly alike!
