Their jewelry studio in Portland, Oregon keeps an immense collection of the finest quality handmade glass beads and findings. Their favorite components are Murano glass, Bohemian glass, gemstones and natural freshwater pearls. They use superior American-made findings of sterling silver and gold vermeil. Their exclusive glass lamp beads are made entirely by hand over a single flame. Most of their exclusive beads have many layers of glass to create a specific effect in color and texture. In making a handmade bead, each color must be layered one at a time while keeping the molten glass at a constant temperature, or the bead will crack.
