The two larger beads have a silver foil core, which gives the glass a glowing quality. The square bead is built in layers and 'baked' in a kiln until the outer glass is fused onto the foil center. It is 1/2" x 1/2 x 1/4" in size. The round darker amber beads are spun on a metal rod, rolled in silver foil while partially molten; then more amber colored glass is added. They measure slightly less than 3/8". Smaller separator sections are silver lined and bronze seed beads. Strung on the highest quality stringing material available, and finished with sterling silver clasp.
