More info on bracelet At first glance the larger 5/8 x 1/2" beads appear to be dichroic glass, but are actually furnace glass with a foil interior. The effect is created by starting with a black glass base, adding a 'cracked' silver foil layer then topping with three vivid colors of glass, teal, blue and light amethyst. The smaller 8mm round beads have a dark blue core, silver foil above the blue core, and a clear glass exterior. Tiny spacing beads are emerald green glass beads with reflective silver lining for a bit of sparkle. | |

More info on earrings Info on bracelet above has description of the larger foil glass bead. The top bead in the earrings is a 4mm Swarovski cut crystal bi-cone. Earhooks and spacing beads are sterling silver. Included are small rubber backs that slip onto the earhooks when worn to assure the your earrings will never fall off. | |
 The jewelry on this page was inspired the the northern lights, or aurora borealis. The representation is crude at best, as the northern lights are one of the most magnificent observable natural events. If you get a chance, check out these sites relating to the northern lights: Virtual Finland A good general information page of the folklore and scientific aspects of aurora borealis. (Not overly technical.) Michigan Tech University Aurora borealis central. Iceland Worldwide Awesome, awesome pics by Sigurdur H Stefnisson. Also wonderful pics by Jan Curtis. |
