Beads > Lampwork Beads

You will fall in love with these beautiful hand made beads and charms. Each bead is hand crafted with exquisite precision and detail. Lampwork beads are created by heating a glass rod and winding it into the shape of the base bead, then intricate patterns and colors can be added to the bead with nearly limitless design possibilities. Early lampwork beads were created with the flame of an oil lamp, hence then name, but today are formed with torches.

The brilliant optical qualities of the dichroic lampwork beads came to us thanks to space age technology. NASA originally developed the unique process of stacking multiple layers of metal oxides and then fusing them with glass for satellite mirrors. The radiant spectrum of colors seen in these beads is a result of different wavelengths of light either passing through or reflecting off of various layers of metal oxides. Each bead is truly an individual work of art; continuously drawing the eye to resplendent colors as light shifts upon the bead. If you enjoy these lamp beads be sure to check out our Czech lamp beads by Jablonex, the World's foremost manufacturer of glass beads.

Description:	These unique show-stoppers are lovingly hand crafted by skilled artisans in the Czech Republic. The tradition of Bohemian glassmaking dates back for centuries, and the quality and craftsmanship is evident in each of these traditional Czech glass treasures. Each bead is a genuine work of art, and the attractive open weave design and true colors makes these pieces stand apart from any other bead. You may notice a tube of ceramic looking material running through the center of your bead. This material is called slip, and is used to allow the bead to easily slip off the mandrel on which it was formed. This material is intended to crumble away, allowing your stringing material to be visible through the bead.
