Blue glass is always captivating, but when it carries subtle undercurrents of purple, it takes on a whole new level of depth and beauty. This newest set of lampwork beads features a custom in-house frit blend that brings oceanic blues to the forefront, with delicate touches of violet that shift with the light and add just the right amount of intrigue.

Each bead was handcrafted in a semi-transparent swirl style — a technique I’m especially pleased with for this blend. The colors melt and swirl within the glass in a a soft style. The hints of purple add warmth to the cool blues, making these beads versatile for both calm, coastal-inspired palettes and bolder, more dramatic designs.

This frit would also pair beautifully with shimmering gold aventurine — a combination I’m already thinking about for the next set. The sparkle of gold against the moody blues and violets would bring even more life and contrast to the glass. Keep an eye out for those soon!
