Lampwork

Introducing a new interchangeable exclusive - BdM Lampwork Beads! These festive, handmade designs use pure gold and silver foil, swirls of colored glass and tiny flowers to create a unique work of art.

Lampwork is a term used to describe glass beads made by melting glass with a torch and wrapping it around lengths of specially coated steel wire (mandrels). The term "lampwork" was used many hundreds of years ago when people used to blow air through oil lamps to melt the glass. *No two beads are exactly alike and sizes vary within each style/color.
