Miriam sorts through hundreds of beads at art fairs and bead shows to find amazing Glass Beads made by
artisans from around the world ... Then she creates just the right design to compliment the beautiful shapes and colors of only the most striking beads. Like all Miriam’s Designer Jewelry, Sterling Silver is used to accent her designs. Below are Miriam’s featured selections...
Murano-Style Glass Pendants & Matching Necklaces
Murano or Venetian glass originated from the island of Murano, off the coast of Venice. The glass is typically 70 percent sand and 30 percent other substances including silica, which turns to liquid at a very high temperature. Genuine Murano glass is very expensive. The Murano-Style Glass Focal Beads Miriam found are created and designed in the Murano style, but may be made in Venice or even China, so are much more affordable – and just as beautiful. Although the pattern and colors may be similar in some pendants, it’s Miriam’s creative use of sterling silver and gold-filled wire that results in truly unique and eye-catching designs. Miriam then crafts necklaces to match, using a combination of materials including fine glass beads, pearls and Swarovksi Crystal Pearls.

The delicate perfection of nature is seen in the BOROSILICATE GLASS “GINGKO LEAF” BEADS Miriam used to create these Pendants with matching beaded necklaces. The Ginkgo leaf is from an ancient ornamental tree called a Ginkgo Biloba, which is a living fossil dating back more than 200 years. Extinct in most of the world, it survived in China, became known to Europeans in the eighteenth century, and later throughout the Western world. It was introduced to America in 1784. Ginkgo is a phonetic pronunciation of the Japanese name for the tree, and the species name biloba refers to the distinct lobes typical of the leaves - and shown so beautifully in these beads. Borosilicate Glass is a unique and specialized variety of glass that is stronger than the softer glass typically used to make beads. It is highly resistant to chemicals and to the effects of the natural acids found on human skin and in many skin care lotions.
