Welcome to the Beads For Sale page at BeadySam Glass!
Every bead is a one-off and can never be repeated exactly. Each bead is handmade by me, in my North Wales studio. The beads are made from Italian Effetre or Vetrofond glass with accents of various brands of frit, silver leaf and high silver content glasses. Once completed, the beads are annealled in a digitally controlled kiln overnight to remove stresses within the glass and to ensure strength and durability.
Postage on all beads is free, and beads will be well wrapped to ensure they arrive safely at their destination.
Please note, these beads are sold on a first come first served basis. I will mark the bead sold as soon as possible, but should 2 people attempt to purchase the same bead, only the first person to complete the purchase, or to email asking me to reserve the bead will be successful and the unlucky person will be refunded.
These beads are a white base with shades of rich turquoise and blue. The surface has been lightly etched to give an unusual texture. All the beads are different sizes and shapes to add to the rustic feel.
Approx focal measurements, 23mm tallest bead, 12mm widest bead.
