This is a delightful, puffed-up fish in bright colors from the artisans at Unicorne Beads in northern California. The pieces are made by hand from borosilicate glass (a more heat-resistant glass - think Pyrex) using torches and kilns, and the results are both stunning and strong. Mr. Puffers is paired with hand-dyed crinkled silk in brilliant colors for a not-to-be-missed statement piece.

Cost: $43.00 USD

Length: necklace - 36"

Materials:

  • Unicorne Beads lampwork glass fish bead
  • lampwork glass beads
  • sterling silver wire
  • hand-dyed crinkled silk ribbon

Care & cleaning: Clean with warm soapy washcloth and avoid chemical or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft jewelry polishing cloth to clean tarnish appearing on silver.

The silk ribbon is quite strong, as is the glass pendant, but care should be taken that the pendant is not removed from the ribbon (choke hazard) or stepped on (glass could break). As with all beaded jewelry: do not let young toddlers chew on it.

The 36" silk ribbon can be tied various lengths to adjust the fit of the necklace to casual tops. The silk ribbon can also be wrapped numerous times about the wrist for a colorful and fun wrap bracelet (see other wrap designs on the necklets page).
