Fancy Black and Gold Glass Dread Bead - 6-16 mm bead hole sizes

Description

Fancy Silver Fume beads start out as a solid color tube that gets that gets fumed with a layer of 99.9% pure silver and 24kt gold.  This gives the beads a iridescent coating in an array of colors.  I then use a clear glass rod to create a spiral and marble free form motif on the surface.  The clear brings out the highlights on the silver and gives it a bit of texture.  Nice even thickness all the way thru.
