The Bubble Bead


Once again, I have dug into my stash of Sarah Moran beads.  My hand grasped this large bubble bead and I knew it was just the perfect focal for a pendant I had in mind.  It is so tactile!  The bead spins with wild abandon on a simple copper tube through which a heavy 16 gauge sterling silver wire runs.  The ends of the wire curl inward.  As if on a trapeze, this piece is attached to a short length of hammered bent 14 gauge sterling silver wire suspended by a ring so there is a lot of movement going on.  I love jewelry that is kinetic!  The vibrant orange, red, and gold colors of the bead also hide a hint of green…a nice surprise when viewed from the side!  Sarah has an Etsy shop which you may want to check out and on some Thursday evenings she features a “Super Stars” sale when she sells several groupings of beads.  They go so fast…I’ve been lucky on one occasion to purchase a set of beads before they were snapped up.  Of course, one can always special order beads from Sarah too!
