camwyn | I did one of these rings last year,

with the same color metals and another bead from the same strand, but the wrapping wasn't as good and the wire was a heavier gauge. This one is a commission piece for another woman in my office.

On an off-white background, a dual-shanked silver ring with a single large bluegreen glass bead. The bead is internally lined with sparkling golden foil. The ring shanks are wrapped in silver wire.

18 gauge base wire, 28 gauge wrapping wire, dichroic glass bead- at least I assume that's dichroic glass, I don't really know. Might be lampwork. Might be something else. I got it as part of a string of beads at Michaels and at the time I didn't actually look at the bead tags for anything beyond their price. Pretty colors, though. This one's a size 6, as my coworker has smaller fingers than I do.

Fairly soon I will update my online store with as many of these pieces as possible. Also, the date for the trunk sale has been set; it's going to be December 2nd and 3rd, to coincide with the SoWa Winter Festival. About five or six different jewelry makers, myself included, will be participating. I don't know about the festival proper, but the trunk sale will be at Bead and Fiber, 460 Harrison Ave, Boston MA 02118. This should be interesting.
