Silver Core Beads

Posted by Heart Fire on 12/20/2006

I fell in love with the beauty of silver core beads while I was waiting for my torch to arrive. I just knew that I had to make them! It has taken time to learn the basics of the riveting process but the end result is incredibly rewarding. And, I have so much to learn! Thank you for looking at my beads.

Huge Tiger This is my biggest bead to date! It is 3 inches in diameter and has a 1/2" silver tube riveted through the center. Although it is much too large to wear, it is nonetheless fun to look at and hold. 676 x 768 px (130 KB) 0 Comments		Silver Garden This 1/2 inch sterling silver core bead was so much fun to make! I love flowers, particularly Irises in full bloom which I created on the surface of the bead using my own hand made petal canes, there are four flowers held together by a stamen cane. 695 x 768 px (95 KB) 0 Comments
Christmas Joy These two matching silver core beads were created using Moretti copper green and rubino oro twists. The smaller bead has a 1/4 inch sterling core and the larger bead has a 1/2" core. 1024 x 599 px (117 KB) 0 Comments	Reichenbach Ric This bead has many colors included in the design such as purple, grape, pink, browns, and raku colors. I used Reichenbach glass for this silver core bead and the colors are just brilliant! This bead measures 16mm wide, and nearly 1 inch in diameter. 650 x 768 px (99 KB) 0 Comments	Purple Red This gorgeous bead has a purple red base with green and blue reactive glass applied as a surface decoration. The wonderfully reactive glass gives wonderful hues of green, yellow, blue, with a touch of black as an accent. 599 x 768 px (88 KB) 0 Comments
Red Hots This beautiful set was certainly difficult to capture with the camera, the red hues that you see appear more purple in person and the white glass really sets off the wonderful colors! 1024 x 629 px (171 KB) 0 Comments	Over The Rainbo This is my absolute favorite set right now, every color in the rainbow can be seen in each one of these matching beads. The Large bead has a 1/2 inch core while the smaller bead has a 1/4" core. 1024 x 652 px (151 KB) 0 Comments	Goldie This bead is layered with copper greens, handpulled goldstone and just a touch of raku. The Brilliant greens and golds are truly gorgeous! This bead measures 15mm wide, and 7/8 inch in diameter. 615 x 768 px (102 KB) 0 Comments
Spirit Bead This bead was created with red/green, turquoise and then etched in an acid bath. The colors and textures on the bead really remind me of all the time my family spent in Arizona! This bead measures 16mm wide, and nearly 1 inch in diameter. 711 x 768 px (101 KB) 0 Comments	It's Hard to be This is yet another one of my favorite silver core beads! It is layered with red green, copper greens, and just a touch of goldstone. The Brilliant blues and greens are earthy and beautiful! This lovely bead measures 16mm wide, and 26mm in diameter. 611 x 768 px (108 KB) 0 Comments	Jungle Bead This 1/2" silver core bead was an accident! I was working on a different design and picked up the wrong stringers---Oh how I wish I knew what colors were in this bead! 300 x 340 px (24 KB) 0 Comments
Red to the Core This is the first silver core bead that I made. It actually has a 3/4" sterling silver tube that I was finally able to flare around the bead. That was before I realized that 3/4" is just too big! 289 x 334 px (24 KB) 0 Comments	Big Red This is one of the first silver core beads I made, I combined dark purple with red simply because it was lying on my lampwork table. I actually like the combination. 292 x 237 px (14 KB) 0 Comments	Deep Blue 1/2 inch silver core bead made with GG Glass, they really have beautiful glass don't they? 303 x 313 px (20 KB) 0 Comments
Simple Triangle This is also among the first that I did, it's really a practice bead. 319 x 334 px (21 KB) 0 Comments	It's So Hard to This is one of the 3/4 inch silver core beads that I created before I realized that that particular size is just too big, it was a huge challenge and I learned a great deal though. 292 x 362 px (19 KB) 0 Comments	Devitrification This bead came out fairly well except for the devitrificat... I have so much to learn. 294 x 315 px (16 KB) 0 Comments

First Great Vintage

This silver core bead was made a while ago, and I finally found the picture. This is probably my favorite silver core bead. It was made with Lauscha Supernova and tons of hand pulled goldstone.
