Nautical Necklace, Vintage Irish Ship Coin, lamp-worked glass beads, copper and green, Next Adventure Gift

Vintage Irish ship coin and lamp worked glass bead necklace. Ideal gift for the woman who is a bit adventurous. Necklace has gentle swirls of teal, green, blue and "reactive" metallic glass in six lamp worked beads, accompanied by an Irish half-penny sailing ship coin as the focal point of this necklace from my "Adventurous" series. Called "Sail with Me" because it reminds me to think a little more adventurously and to be brave. When the mix of gas and oxygen is altered in the flame of my torch "reactive" glass literally reacts with the chemical makeup of the glass to create swirls of "moody ocean" colors and a slight metallic shine. True alchemy! The vintage 1943 Irish ha’penny has a tall ship on one side and King George VI on the reverse, sourced from antique shops in Galway while visiting my daughter. The beads and crystals in the necklace provide a subtle touch of shine and sparkle as they catch the light. Elegant and casual at the same time, they are perfect for jeans and a t-shirt, or a swishy silk dress at a romantic dinner.

The lamp-worked glass beads were formed in a torch and annealed in a programmable kiln by me, in my home studio of hand-made artisan glass. Great care is taken to produce jewelry that will endure and wear well. As an avid jewelry wearer myself, I won’t sell something that I wouldn’t love to wear too!
