Green Lampwork Glass Eyeglass Chain - Losing My Marbles in Green
I absolutely LOVE working with lampwork beads. I love the idea that someone has taken a piece of glass and with flame and craftsmanship, mounded that glass into a piece of art. This is must amazing to me.
The concept of eyeglass chains is that you attach the ends of the chain to your glasses and then wear your glasses around your neck like a necklace. This is an ideal solution for anyone who uses reading glasses, since reading glasses are donned then removed throughout the day and easily become misplaced or lost.
In this "Losing My Marbles" handmade eyeglass chain, I've taken some beautiful green lampwork marbles with tiny flecks of colors inside them and combined them with other matching beads in shades of seaweed green, golden accents and a touch of crisp white to create a stylish beaded eyeglass chain that has easily become one of my favorites.
This piece measures in at 30.5-inches (77.5 cm) from tip to tip.

Pastel Pearls and Silver Hoop Earrings - Handel in Spring
George Frideric Handel was an amazing Baroque composer who is famous for his operas, oratorios and concerto music. He lived from 1685 to 1759 and was born in the same year as Johann Sebastian Bach and Domenico Scarlatti.
In his lifetime, and beyond it, Handel's works were well-known by many other composers, including Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven.
His most famous piece, "Messiah" with its "Hallelujah" chorus, is among the most popular works in choral music and has become a centerpiece of the Christmas season. Another of his most popular works "Water Music" is used often during weddings and was the inspiration for these beaded hoop earrings.
Designed with silver plated hoops that support a grouping of softly shimmering pearls in white and pink joined with a touch of dusky green, these handmade pearl earrings are 1-inch (3 cm) in size and made with care to be light-weight on pierced ears with a delicate appearance. They are earrings are easy to put in and take out with a safety hook clasp so they won't fall out and get lost inconveniently.
