Borosilicate Lampwork Glass Spacer Beads and Spacer Bead Sets.

Bororsilicate Evil Eye Beads.
Purple Borosilicate Glass Evil Eye Beads These beads were made with cane that I pulled using a 10 mm cobalt blue #4 rod and I decorated it with caramel luster and caramel blues. After the cane was drawn down and cooled, it was used to make the cores for these beads.
Light Blue Borosilicate Evil Eye Beads and Spacers I used caramel luster to make the cores of these beads, and fumed the cores with silver. The 3 evil eye beads are encased with clear borosilicate glass. White and light cobalt blue glass was used to make the evil eyes on the surface of the beads. The finished evil eye beads measure: 15 mm in diameter and 8 mm in width.
Blue Evil Eye Beads. I made this set of beads to represent traditional evil eye beads. The evil eye is believed by many cultures to deflect curses by envious people. In countries like Turkey, you'll find evil eyes placed outside of homes and painted on walls of buildings. They are even painted on McDonald's fast food restaurants, newly built apartments and hotels.
Ice Blue Evil Eye Beads To make these beads I used a cane with light-green and blue metallic glass drawn onto clear rod. After I made the core, I encased them with clear glass and finished them off with the traditional evil eye dots. The belief in evil eye curses is mainly strong in the Mediterranean region of the world, and it is said that evil eye beads have been produced there for 3000 years.
