Lamp beads

Each lamp bead is handmade and is unique and unrepeatable. For the originality of each bead we use real silver and gold plating resplendent with a hand-painting. We are able to produce lamp beads from 6 up to 50 mm in various shapes and colour combinations.

These beads are made by the technology of winding, which is the application of a combination of colours and hand-forming of melted glass on wire using a gas burner. Beads are connected together with metal components or can be strung into glass jewellery.

Glass stones

Glass stones imitate all-cut glass stones. Single shapes with the facets are printed into moulds. Multicoloured molten glass rods or glass sticks are pressed by hand into the moulds. After that each facet can be ground and shaped. For making the mirror reflection on the glass stone we use foiling. A protective varnish is then applied to the reflective flat to prevent mechanical damage.

Types of glass stones:

• Doublets – hand-pressed with a formed top and bottom
• Sew on Stones – hand-pressed with a formed top and flat bottom
• Chaton roses
