Amazing! Freeze & Fuse

Amazing! Freeze & Fuse

Posted by GeltDesigns on 11/2/2006
Perhaps you've heard of the new freeze and fuse technique! Check out this stunning sterling silver pendant built around a glass focal bead. The bead was created in three firings. The first firing created a pate de verre component. The second firing created the bead, which was then cold worked. The third firing tack fused the pate de verre to the bead and fire polished the bead. A long, pain staking process, but the resulting bead was worth it!

The bead is hung from a hand fabricated sterling silver finding on a hand made classical loop and loop chain of woven fine silver.

Art to wear! Enjoy!
