Description: Glass Bead Medallions

Details: Clear, transparent medium purple and medium blue, and opaque white and pink glasses were used to create these medallion beads along with dark orchid, blue/green, and petal pink Thompson enamels. All AJGlass beads have been properly annealed. Due to the differences in monitor settings, the colors of these medallion beads may look slightly lighter, slightly darker, or otherwise different on your monitor than they do in real life. The bright white lines on these beads are light reflections. The dime is provided to show the size of the medallions and is not for sale.

Status: SOLD
Item: Four handmade, enameled glass medallion beads.
Item Prices:
      J - $16.00
      K - $16.00
      L - $20.00
      M - $22.00


S&H Cost: $4 S&H per shipment (or $5 S&H per shipment outside of the continental United States). The cost of S&H will not change regardless of how many enameled medallions are shipped at once.

Shipping Information: I ship beads via US Post in packaging suitable for glass beads.
Delivery: Please allow two weeks for delivery, longer for international orders. Weather permitting, I try and ship the following business day after payment has been received and cleared. Medallion beads will be shipped with delivery confirmation when possible.

Payment: PayPal. Other payment options may also be accepted.
Contact: Please note me if you are interested in purchasing any of these enameled medallion beads.

Disclaimer: Please understand that these enameled medallion beads are created from glass, and like all glass they can chip or break if dropped, thrown, crushed or otherwise abused. So these enameled medallion beads are NOT suitable for small children. They may pose a hazard if broken.

Discussion: I think that these enameled medallion beads would make great bases for interesting wire-wrapping projects. Each medallion has a hole that runs through it, and I can see all sorts of possibilities for someone who likes to make wire swirls, wire flowers, or other intricate wire designs. I can also see the larger medallion making for a neat belt buckle with the addition of a buckle clasp (not included). For those who like to cosplay, these medallions could work well being incorporated into all manner and types of wearable clothing, accessories, or weaponry.

Creation: These enameled medallion beads were created by pressing and flattening molten glass between two graphite marvers to create the medallion shape. Using a large tweezers, enamel powders were then carefully scooped onto the hot medallion. The medallion was then carefully heated in the torch flame so that the enamel powders melted in but at the same time kept a bit of their texture.

I didn't use molds to create these pieces – just flat hand-held marvers. When the molten glass is flattened it spreads out so the final shape and thickness can vary. These medallions were created in a similar way as my Strawberry Shortcake medallion.

Please note me if you are interested in purchasing any of these enameled glass medallion beads.

Guarantee: I will do everything that I can to make sure that you are satisfied with your purchase. So if you are not satisfied with this bead for any reason, please return it prepaid in its original condition and in its original packaging for a full refund. Shipping costs are the responsibility of the purchaser. Please request return authorization in advance.
