The intricate hollow blown glass bead is made by Mendocino, California artist Tom Boylan. There are soft color blends merging from golds into purples with accent dots of deep yellow and purple. It is paired here with a Kumihimo braid that picks up the purple tones. The braid is made with satin cords, with glass seed beads at the center and may be worn on it’s own. The featured pendant bead may also be worn with beads that enhance the gold tones, or with a chain for a more casual look.

The bead is 1 1/2” x 1 3/4” and is 2 3/4” long with the sterling silver ring bail. The braid is 21” long.
