12 Gilded Tides Shimmer Lampwork Beads

$ 49.00
SKU: SW1106

Create luminous, high-end jewelry with these Gilded Tide Shimmer lampwork beads, handcrafted in our studio and infused with shimmering gold aventurine for a soft, radiant sparkle.

Each bead features layered swirls of coastal-inspired colors: soft aqua, seafoam green, misty blue, and hints of lavender and blush, blending together in a fluid, painterly motion. Accents of warm gold aventurine drift through the glass like sunlight reflecting on water, adding depth and a subtle, luxurious shimmer.

Encased in a smooth, glossy finish, the colors flow beneath the surface, creating dimension and movement with a glassy, polished feel. The palette is slightly brighter and more dynamic than a neutral blend, evoking shifting tides, sunlit water, and natural mineral textures.

Slightly larger than our standard beads, this set offers a beautiful presence while remaining versatile for both statement and refined jewelry designs. No two beads are exactly alike, making each set uniquely artisan.
