Zanfirico Sound

This necklace features a focal bead of ivory glass with a complex cane of ocean colours winding through it like an ocean sound winding between beaches. This handmade art glass bead hangs on a beaded necklace of magnesite and dyed coral chips 30" long and the focal bead adds 2".
 
Magnesite is considered to encourage creativity and meditation.
Coral is considered helpful to transformation, change and progress.
 
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.
