A modern version of a classic necklace of a style common during the Romano-British time period. Made with medium turquoise blue glass, these melon beads are inspired by a visit to the York museum which has a fantastic collection of beads, and also the British Museum. The necklace has carnelian beads, riverstone beads and Bali silver accents in a granulated style that is very similar to beads found in excavations of Romano-British sites, and is finished with a simple silver hook and eye clasp.

Once the torch was lit that very first time, glass has been an obsession and a salvation. Beadmaking has moved from something I did in my spare time to something I use all my free time to do. It's the thing that keeps me going and makes getting up each day a challenge rather than a chore. And it gives me a chance to wear my wooly jumper in public.
