For What It's Worth

Now that I've finally found a lampwork artist whose beads are perfect for my Dragon Eggs series and really speak to me and breathe life into my jewelry I can finally get back to the business of making Dragon Eggs pieces.

The spectacular SOLID lampwork focal in this particular pendant is a BIG honker. As the lampwork artist calls these beads, a handful of happiness! It measures 23.4mm by 16.9mm wide and it's got an amazing touchy-feely quality about it. The encasing clear glass not only magnifies the twisty raku swirls but also gives them an absolutely hypnotic effect. This spectacular bead was made by Elly Peters - ellyloo to you! It is mounted on 18K yellow gold with a custom-altered 18K yellow gold bead cap, Crystal AB Swarovski® crystal rondelles and black onyx.

We LOOOOOOOOOOVES IT, My Precious! ;)

Oh yeah - the title's no reflection on the bead, it's the title of one of my favorite songs of all time!
