Glass Beads by Jackie

Lampwork Glassbead Jewelry

Welcome to Glass Beads by Jackie

The first manmade glass was produced about 3500 B.C.  Beads are part of every culture arond the world.

My beads start out as rods of glass that are worked over a torch using a mixture of natural gas and oxygen. The torch's heat(1700-1900 degrees F) melts the glass, which I wind onto a stainless steel mandrel.  Each color in a bead comes from applying a different colored glass rod.  The design is limited only by your imagination!

Each bead is made individually, so no two beads are exactly alike, they are one-of-a-kind.
