Boro beads are created by lampwork bead artists using borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass is a specialized variety of glass that is far stronger than the glass typically used in bead making. The organic palette of borosilicate glass is described as "living color" that can be manipulated and shaded by the bead artist, which results in spectacular beads that encase layers of whispy, ever changing hues and multidimensional textures.
Although these fabulous beads made by renowned bead artist Brendan Blake, are gorgeous in a two-dimensional photograph, they are phenomenally more stunning when you actually hold them in your hand. The end of each of these elegant hair accessories is adorned with a hand crafted sage green boro bead with gossamer swirls of light blue and sparkling silver, nestled between two silver plated starlight rhinestone rondelles. A bicolor sage green and light sapphire blue oval crystal, topped with an ornate genuine sterling silver filigree bead cap, sits below. Silver plated heishi beads complete the design. The hair sticks are elegantly hand carved bone, finished in sparkling silver over sage green, under layers of protective clear enamel. These one-of-a-kind special edition hair accessories measure 5 5/8" from end to end.
