“Butterfly Dreams” is a statement piece for collectors who appreciate true artistry—an intricate, one-of-a-kind lampwork glass pendant that brings together hours of torch work, rare materials, and international craftsmanship. This design is very similar to one that was chosen for inclusion in the International Society of Glass Beadmakers President's Collection at the Corning Museum of Glass in New York.
At the heart of the pendant is an exquisitely sculpted glass butterfly, hand-formed in the flame with layered wings in deep blues and luminous greens. Each wing is built petal-thin and textured with dimensional detail, catching the light in a way only artisan lampwork can. The butterfly rests on a richly patterned base bead with organic surface designs, creating the feeling of a tiny world captured in glass.
Premium adornments elevate this pendant far beyond ordinary jewelry:
-
Electroformed copper accents add a sculptural, antique quality that pairs beautifully with the glasswork.
-
A hand-cast bronze ginkgo leaf from a Russian artist introduces a touch of global craftsmanship and symbolism—ginkgo representing resilience, longevity, and hope.
-
Freshwater pearls contribute glowing warmth and natural elegance, balancing the glass textures.
-
A bright, petal-blue lampwork flower charm and golden drop details bring movement and whimsy.
-
The piece is finished with a luxurious SilverSilk knitted chain, known for its softness, durability, and metallic sheen.
Every element of Butterfly Dreams has been thoughtfully chosen and meticulously handcrafted. This is not simply a pendant—it is a wearable piece of art, composed of materials that span countries, disciplines, and techniques.
This piece offers the experience of owning something truly rare:
a lovingly crafted heirloom that celebrates color, imagination, and the magic of glass brought to life.
