The snow is coming...

I encased a base of snowy white with blue iridescent dichro and got some of the most amazing sparkle! It looks like a sparkly blue ice cube but in bead form! The colors shift from blue to light teal to a light pastel pink. Very iridescent.

To finish the bead I added a single core of 925 sterling silver. (Not glued in rivets)

Before you wonder, the photos are accurate. As I type, I am sitting in a dimly lit room (it's night time but this listing will go live tomorrow morning) and this bead is unbelievably bright just by the light of my computer screen. Two layers of dichroic glass- together in a rainbow bliss- this bead will dazzle your eyes- and add sparkle to your wrist! (Or neck, if you so choose) Enjoy!

This bead is another chameleon! The *barely* visible swirls of gold mirrored glass drape over a bright base of orangey copper dichroic- sometimes the scrolls are pink mirrors, sometime they are gold, and mostly they >>>disappear<<< but you can always see the dichroic sparkle underneath! The photos show the colors to be a bit bold, as I think our naked eye can't quite pick up those colors as well as the camera did, especially with enlarged photos. It's more like a fiery sparkle shining from underneath barely mirrored sunglasses... this is a really fun bead and it is fun to watch it constantly change. (via ebay.com)
