Chunky triangular nuggets of clear glass have a core of  opaque mandarin orange and are separated by a pattern of clear silver-lined seed beads.  These smaller beads allow space for movement between the feature beads of the triangular Mandarin stretch bracelet to curve comfortably.  The sides of the clear glass triangles are approx. 11-12mm, while they are roughly 7-8mm wide across.  As the lamp-work glass beads are hand made, the size, shape and colour may vary slightly.

The Mandarin stretch bracelet is made to fit a 14cm wrist comfortably, but can stretch for a larger, but firmer fit.  The similar Tangerine Triangles stretch bracelet has a slightly smaller fit.

Glass lamp-work is the centuries old art of melting glass with a flame to produce handmade “lamp-work” glass. The word lamp-work came from originally using oil filled lamps to heat glass to a molten stage. Although this process is still referred to as lamp-work, it’s also called flame working or torch-working glass.
