Hold your favourite aromatherapy oil or memory of a loved one close to your heart.
I made these gorgeous beads
one at a time in my glass studio, hand formed and shaped by eye and graphite paddle. I incorporated them into this
Vessel design bringing you a gorgeous, interesting one off creation.
I
used a variety of Italian murano
glass from Venice to make this piece.
I called this
Vetro Artistico Vessel:
Aroma Fiorire
Aroma vessels have been around since the beginning of time.
Beautifully sculptured vessels made out of glass and stone were used by
the wealthy ancient Egyptians to keep their valuable perfumed oils and
aromatherapy fragrances in.
You can wear "Aroma" as is, for the symbolic nature it possesses and or you can fill it with your favorite perfume or oil (it has a small cavity in the centre)
and wear it close to your heart. 
I have properly kiln annealed all my beads overnight to reduce internal
stress in the glass and to ensure durability. All Beads are Unique One
Offs.
The
vessel is breathtaking and composed of an enclosed base bead which looks like a
pot, with complimenting sterling silver components throughout and used to make up a removable topper : (LDC © bead and hand cut cork which fit snugly into the vessel), which is attached to the vessel by a fine Sterling Silver chain.
All components except the main necklace and toggle clasp are made of Sterling Silver.
The entire pendant measures 4.5cm x 3.5 cm (width) and dangles off the chain by a wire harness made in half round sterling silver wire.
A special thanks to Jodi H. for showing me the correct technique on how to wire a lasting vessel creation.
The
necklace measures 49cm. I used my LDC© handmade bead to create a free
dangling neck detailing charm which is extremely flattering and
finishes the necklace piece off beautifully.
