All beads are handmade by me, Christina Catherine, in my home-based lampworking studio here in sunny Southern California.I work with many different brands of the highest quality glass including Italian Effetre/Moretti, American Bullseye, German Lauscha and more, on my duel fuel lampworking torch. I love to incorporate special effects into the glass whenever I can, such as fine silver, 23k gold leaf, dichroic glass, goldstone, cubic zirconias, and reactive silver glass for added flair and interest.Once formed and flame polished, each and every bead is immediately placed into a preheated kiln which is digitally controlled to precisely anneal the glass overnight for maximum strength and longevity. Upon removal from the mandrel, each bead hole is thoroughly cleaned by hand with a diamond coated tool to ensure no excess bead release is left behind providing you with a professional finish. Every step that goes into making my beads is done with the utmost care and attention to detail using only the finest quality materials available.Each piece I create is as special and unique as the person who will wear and enjoy it for years to come!
