The bead in this listing is a one-of-a-kind handmade (by us) lampwork glass bead with a .925 sterling silver one-piece core (hand-lined).  We use imported Italian glass for the beads and fine silver is used for accents encased in the glass.  The bead is created in the flame, fully annealed, properly cleaned, hand-lined, polished and photographed in a collaborative effort by me (Shelley) and my husband (Jeff).

The bead above was photgraphed in full spectrum natural lighting and then enlarged to show detail.  The actual bead dimensions of THIS SPECIFIC bead are approximately 7mm x 14mm and the interior core is designed to fit Troll  and Pandora sized chains as well as our sterling silver bracelets.  Please check bead dimensions carefully - some beads are more suited for a necklace or a chunkier bracelet.  (Sorry, but the chain in the photograph is not part of this sale).
