Whimsical Handmade Cloroful Porcelain and Glass Bead Necklace N-0108

This beautiful, one-of-a-kind, whimsical necklace is hand crafted of porcelain beads, and mixed glass beads encompassing the handmade beads as well as the tail end of the extension chain. Each porcelain bead is carefully hand formed and shaped in my studio here in Northern California. I then fire each bead in my kiln up to the temps of 2800 degrees, meticulously applying up to 4 to 6 coats of glaze and then re firing them. After this firing, I take all the beads and assemble them into necklaces, bracelets and earrings adding copper and silver wire, glass, coral, stones, shells and mixed metal. I finished this necklace with a nugget metal charm that says "laugh."

 

Overall length with extension chain - 23"

Length of necklace - 19.5"
