These beads are made with Effetre Avorio Lapis Dark 293 which as the name suggests is ivory and dark lapis blue together in one rod. When you melt the glass the two colours mix together and the resulting swirls remind me of weather satellite images and stormy seas.
I turned this lot into a long necklace. The beads are strung with plain sterling silver rounds and the necklaces fastens with a lobster clasp.
The beads range from 7.5mm to 10.5mm diameter and the necklace measures about 70cm (27 1/2 inches) long when unfastened.
The Stormy Seas necklace is available in my shop.
In the shop you'll also find a small strand of the Black & White + Turquoise & Red beads that I made a few months back.
I held on to these intending to make them into a bracelet but I've never got round to it so I'm selling them as they are.
