| Penrose Design beads begin with a core glass tube of dense, opaque color, often white which gives the other colors "a lot of punch." For the vibrant colors draped over this core, the couple prefers the transparent glasses from West German manufacturers because of the clarity and "jewel-like" quality of the material. |

The intensity of
the color depends on the length and width of the bead as well as the size and
shape of the hole. The shape of the bead comes from blowing a hole through
the glass tube.
Elizabeth Cary and Rick Bernstein live in the Rhode Island town of Foster, where their business is located. |

"Choose a gift of glass jewelry for your special someone!"
|
Jane Barthelemy, Oregon jewelry designer and brand new glass artist, creates colorful necklaces, earrings, bracelets and pendants in contemporary, innovative, multi-layered glass designs. Jane infuses the finest of old-world craftsmanship with eclectic, energized and modern style. |
Marco Polo Designs
|
Jane’s exclusive lamp beads are made entirely by hand over a single flame. Many of the beads have an internal layer of 24k gold or sterling silver, which adds luminosity to the transparent colors. Each color must be layered one at a time while keeping the molten glass at a constant temperature, or the bead will crack. |
|
|
Jane creates her exciting, fashion-forward glass jewelry in an airy studio in Portland, Oregon, surrounded on all sides by 12-foot shelves of the finest quality beads and findings. Her favorite components include Murano glass, Bohemian glass, antique Japanese beads, handmade glass beads by USA bead designers and freshwater pearls.
