I use Moretti Glass from
Italy. Very easy to work with and it's a very soft glass. I also use Lauscha
glass from Germany. I use mainly the clear for encasing my
beads. All of my beads are kiln annealed at 960F degrees and ramped down to
500F degrees, and then turned off. The kiln is not opened until the next day. It makes the beads very hard and durable.
The bead set that you purchase
will in all likelihood be the one pictured, however if that bead set has
been sold, I'll reproduce the desired set. Please keep in mind that these
beads are custom created and hand crafted and that no two beads will be
identical. I will however promise to copy as accurately as possible the
set pictured. Also, if there is anything about a particular set that you
would like changed, slight color, size or shape, I will create a beautiful
set to your liking. Thanks for looking.
