These stunning lampwork beads are the creation of Jimmy Lou Jackson, of Hot Flash Beads in Berea, KY.

The necklace comes together in a beautiful color combination of a vivid sangre and opal yellow. The focal bead measures 21x27mm, flanked on each side by two smaller like beads, size 18x21mm; two long cylinder beads, size 9x18mm. Completing the focal pendant are two sterling daisy spacers, two Swarovski crystals, and a sterling silver head pin. The 6x12mm sangre spacers were made by Molley Cooley, a self- taught lampwork glass artist. Included in this stunning creation are Jet Swarovski crystals (6mm) and black Czech glass beads. Six Bali sterling silver beads each measure 7x7mm. The toggle-style clasp is Hill Tribe (99.8) hammered silver and measures 15x17mm.

Matching sterling silver earrings incorporate a cylinder bead with three Swarovski crystals, sizes 4mm, and 6mm. Each cylinder is suspended from a brushed sterling oval ring, measuring 16x23mm.

The earrings measure two inches from the base of the ear wire.

With pride, I design each piece of jewelry in my line with the finest materials available. I limit my creations to genuine gemstones, artisan lampwork beads, Swarovski crystals, along with Hill Tribe silver (99.8) or Bali sterling silver (9.25). As of June 2010, I use only lampwork beads from self -representing artists as I find their beads are of a higher quality. Each set also contains my signature mark, a Czech glass heart with a Swarovski crystal. Every piece in my line is lovingly handcrafted in my home studio, is guaranteed to delight you, and I want you to wear each with pride.
