Shop Jewelry

All of my beads are handmade at the torch using traditional lampworking techniques. Once the glass is melted in about a 2000° flame and the bead is formed on a mandrel, it is annealed in a kiln for strength and wearability. Each piece is a unique work of art unto itself, sometimes combined with natural materials such as sterling silver, copper, gemstones, pearls, crystals, and shell.

Shop Fun and Functional

Whether it's a doggy portrait or a fishy winestopper, glass can be functional and fun.
