Triple Droplet Propeller Discs - Glass Lampwork Necklace By Amy Holms

These lampwork glass beads were handmade in my studio from Effetre Italian glass. Each bead is comprised of a glass donut bail surrounded by 3 pressed glass discs. The 3 beads shown are made of a glass. The beads nestle together next to each other, creating a cluster of overlapping glass planes which adds depth and tones of color to the transparent glass. Included are 3 colored beads. They are well-fused and include the spacers and beads. The beads measure between approximately 26mm around x 12mm wide (1" around x 1/2" wide). Nestled together, the cluster of 3 beads is approximately 24.5mm (1") wide.All of my glasswork has been kiln annealed for longevity and cleaned with a diamond reamer. The beads were created on a 3/32" mandrel. The necklace is sold with a 16" 1mm sterling silver omega with sterling silver clasp.

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.
