Here is a new video of Doug making a European glass bead charm. This bead is a simple bead, but it will give you the basic idea of how a glass charm is crafted in the flame. It's kind of relaxing watching the bead take shape, a bit like an artist painting a painting.
Later, after the glass bead is annealed in our kiln, the bead is put through the process of adding a silver core. Doug carefully crafts each core with care. Every silver core is made from a single piece of 925 sterling silver.
