Caribbean Surf Handmade Eyeglass Chain

Caribbean Surf Handmade Eyeglass Chain
I was attracted to these beautiful lampwork beads the moment I saw them and couldn't wait to get them home and work with them! Made of lampwork glass, these beads are created from turquoise and aqua colors with an inky swirl beneath the surface that is reminiscent of an ocean wave.

I've used these beads to create a handmade eyeglass chain titled "Caribbean Surf", because the colors remind me of the blue skies and colorful sea of the Caribbean. The lampwork beads have been combined with other glass bead accents in matching colors all strung together on a strand of white. This eyeglass chain is perfect for leashing in those runaway reading glasses that always seem to get lost when not perched on one's nose.
