What Is Lampwork?
Bead making is a highly valued art/skill throughout the entire world. It had its beginnings from very early times. Handmade Lampwork beads are made on a metal rod called mandrels. Molten glass is wound on the rod and then designs with other colors are added to enhance the bead.
After the handmade Lampwork Glass beads are made, they are then put into a kiln to heat all parts evenly and then allowed to cool slowly to reduce the stress in the bead. This is called annealing and it is a necessary part of Beadmaking.
After the bead is cooled it is removed from the mandrel. The beads are now ready to be incorporated into a beautiful piece of jewelry such as some of the Designs below♥♥

♥I hope you will fall in love with my beautiful creations that are hand made beads, 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.
