Ibiza Seashells Art Glass Knotted Necklace, handmade lampwork beads by glass artist Jenelle Aubade.
“She would be half a planet away, floating in a turquoise sea, dancing by moonlight to flamenco guitar.”
― Janet Fitch, White Oleander
A long knotted rope of my handmade glass beads, convertible, 3 feet and 4 inches long, 141 beads.
Turquoise glass sourced from Italy makes up the lead melody in this strand in lightly faceted accents touched with lapis cobalt, fine silver, and ivory glass, coordinated with soft matte berry stained encasements. I have included some bell flowers, disks, rounds, and a pretty sea creature lentil focal.
I create each bohemian style glass bead by hand over a torch flame. They are kiln annealed for lasting heirloom quality. Visit more of my design work @ http://JenelleAubade.com and check out some of my beads in real-time at the retail store Beads and Needs located in Colorado Springs, CO, USA..
Lead time 10 days, delivery via DHL recommended.

NECKLACE CARE 🌸
Lay Flat, preferably in a jewelry folder like a pearl necklace. This will keep your necklace pristine. I use hemp instead of cotton knots for a bit stronger hold and less stretching but if you wear your necklace a lot you may want to have it re-strung eventually. Any jeweler that offers pearl necklace repairs can do this for you.
FAQ
(1) How I make my beads:
I create each bead using mostly glass sourced from Italy & Germany over a hot torch flame. I embellish them with enamels, fine silver, 23k gold, and goldstone. They are annealed over night in a digital kiln for longevity, and cleaned and shipped with care.
(2) How I price my beads:
I have been creating my line of beads since 2007 and have curated some distinct looks including organic style shapes which are unique and makes the line and each bead ooak.
My glass beads range from $10 - $20 per inch of lampwork, with adjustments made for the source glass and detail material prices.
(3) How I make my Necklaces:
I spend hours over several days creating the beads for each necklace, beginning with a color pallet in mind and then stretching the design details out during the torching session. Each necklace comes with one or two handmade/sculpted signature beads with my initials to match the design line. J/A. I hand knot each necklace like a string of pearls for longevity and for the grace of the fall line, how it lays while you wear it. The line is completely base metal free for happy health reasons and sustainability.
(4) How I price my Necklaces:
My necklaces retail at $15-$25 per inch, taking in to account the bead cost, and then calculating in the time in necklace design/creation/photography and advertising.
