Group of Seven Inspiration

This one of a kind necklace features a handmade art glass focal bead that is inspired by the landscapes by the Group of Seven.  The bead is accompanied by a string of Swarovski crystals, handmade art glass beads and semi precious stones including onyx, jasper and rhodochrosite. The necklace is 32" long and the focal bead adds another 2.5" .
 
Onyx is considered an emotional healing stone to alleviate grief and stress.
Jasper is considered a grounding stone promoting strength and stimulating the mind and creativity.
Rhodochrosite is considered a stone of happiness, love and emotional healing.
 
Each one of a kind bead is handmade by me in my Shedio (a shed I built into a studio), in Calgary Alberta. I primarily use Italian (Murano) glass that I melt in extreme heat and control to create each bead individually. All of my beads are annealed straight from the torch in a digitally-controlled kiln for lasting strength and durability.

I try to represent the true colours of my beads and photograph them in natural sunlight to show them at their best. Depending on the device and monitor you are viewing on, these may appear differently.

Nekked beads - are beads that have not been made into anything yet, and therefore let you decide how you want it.

Jewelry pieces- are created with Stainless Steel as often as I can to allow strength, and shine (who's got time to polish?). Special orders can be made with sterling silver, titanium, copper, brass, leather or cord.

Allergies? - Please reach out and let me know and I am happy to accommodate.
