Beads, Beads, Beads!
If you called me a bead stringer I would be offended; I'm a metalsmith. But in this instance, it felt appropriate. These next 4 pieces have no metalwork in them, but the vintage components are so fabulously special that I hope you agree what I've done with them is right. Besides, the business slowdown of Covid-19 has really given me the time to do things like make tassels, that I absolutely love doing, but is usually too time consuming to bother with. The 20's are back!!!

It's filmed in the Gablonz region of the Czech Republic and demonstrates the process and techniques used to make the Czech glass cabochons, buttons, drops, and chandalier components that I use in my jewelry. The pieces I use were made before the 1960's, mostly from the 1920's, but this family glassworks in the film is the only glassworks left that is still using the original facility and techniques!
