New At Bassett's......

I recently took some new work up to Bassett Jeweler's in Minocqua, WI. Check to the right for their website. Here's a pair of earrings with some silver glass round Lampwork beads. What makes these special? The glass has a high silver content which allows it to change colors when exposed to high heat. The rod for this pair started out as a Transparent grass green rod and changed to some wonderful metallic colors in blue and pinky purples. They are a bit difficult to photogaph, but I think you can get the picture. The caps are made from Fine Silver and they're suspended on a hammered heavy wire.
