Our unique beaded lampwork gift line utilizes the beauty of lampwork beads that are then combined with lovely sterling silver and finally, added to the stems or cuffs of our reseable gift and jewelry lines. These inherently unique beads are crafted one bread at a time by skillful artists and utilize numerous processes in their creation. No two beads will ever be exactly the same so this makes for some very different pieces of jewelry as well as unusual gifts. Our line of unique beaded lampwork gifts include unique and colorful pens, not seen anywhere wine/bottle stoppers, decorative butter knives/cheese spreaders, unique beaded cocktail forks, the very important letter opener, beaded gifts of beaultiful, useable book marks and lastly, a jewelry item: unique, solid sterling silver cuff bracelets with handmade lampwork beads. Please be aware that lampwork beads are like the Cadillac of handmade beads and the more skillful the artist, the more expensive the bead. Also please understand that due to the uniqueness of handmade beads, color variations and changes in shapes and sizes are normal. These shape and size variances are also seen in many of the sterling silver bead components we use as a large majority of even these beads are handcrafted. In some cases you will note price differences in the items within the same gift category and this (and the rising prices of silver) contribute to the over-all cost of the items. The majority of our unique lampwork beaded gift line has the ability to allow for some "ownership creativity". By this we mean, should you desire, you may remove the beads from the item and replace them with other beads and therefore create a whole different appearance of the gift item that is unique to your own personal tastes. If this form of creativity interests you, just contact us and we can direct you to where you might find beads that will fit these gift items. But in the meantime, please feel free to browse.....

Entertainment conversation pieces continue in our unique beaded lampwork gift line with our one of a kind lampwork butter knives/cheese spreaders and unique cocktail forks. Whether used for daily use or for entertainment purposes, these are unique gifts that are sure to please.
E-mail use abounds, but we still are unable to escape "regular mail"; not everyone pays their bills on line or corresponds using e-mail exclusively so that is why we added unique beaded lampwork letter openers into our unique lampwork line of gifts. Constructed of sturdy metal, these openers are not only sharp in their appearance but they are definately sharp enough to open your letters and packages.
Ah, the relaxation of reading a good book; nothing there has changed but it can be frustrating to not recall where you left off when picking up the book again. Why use tissue paper or a piece of torn paper to hold your spot? We have unique beaded book marks that are not only very attractive, but quite economically priced; Dress up your book!
We placed our unique beaded lampwork bracelets into our unique lampwork gift line instead of our other bracelet line because they use, most exclusively, the largest amount of lovely handcrafted lampwork beads and their beauty deserved a place all of their own. The cuff base to these bracelets is a very sturdy, solid sterling silver. One of the round balls at the base of the cuff may be unscrewed and all the beads may be removed (to wear as a plain cuff bracelet) or be changed out to another lively selection of beads as your own creativity dictates.
Custom orders: Color customization is available. Please contact us if you would like to use this option. Supply us with a desired color scheme and we will do our best to accommodate you. If ordering more than one of a particular unique lampwork gift, please understand that due to the uniqueness of the lampwork beads, color schemes are possible but the color scheme cannot be accomplished utilizing the same beads on each additional item.
