Thirteen Droplet Interlaced Discs - Glass Lampwork Necklace By Amy Holms

This set of 13 glass discs was created in my studio from Moretti Italian glass. Light and Medium color transparent glass was pressed into discs that overlap on another when worn, adding a darker color to the existing 2 colors. Included are 2 light color discs and 1 medium color disc. Silver spacers, but the set can also be worn without. The beads are approximately 12mm wide x 18mm long (1/2″ × 11/16"). The beads have been kiln annealed for longevity and cleaned with a diamond reamer. The beads were created on a 3/32" mandrel. The necklace shown is included with a 16" 1mm sterling silver omega for $16 with sterling silver clasp.

This item is currently a custom order. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery.

Artist’s Statement
My architectural background has led to a love of clean, colorful and modern styling. I am currently working to translate this aesthetic into the fluid medium of glass. One of my favorite comments about my work is that my beads are like ‘liquid color.’ I am thrilled by the combination of pure color and clean design with the transparency that glass affords me. I am highly interested in both structure and form, and strive to create work that is both elegant and functional.Each of my pieces is handmade from Italian, German and American glass. All work is kiln-annealed for longevity and cleaned with a diamond reamer, ready for use.
