Ruby Leopard

The loop pendant features a really neat ruby fuschia borosilicate glass focal bead mottled with spots of color at the center. It was made by lampwork artisan Brandie Rosenberry and is surrounded by glass beads in mixed hues of fuschia with some borosilicate donut beads of pinkish and blueish hues encased in clear for depth and it has some little silver accents.
The loop is double-strung with strong nylon coated wire and hanging from a satin cord which closes with a lobster-claw clasp that has a teeny starfish charm accent.

Borosilicate glass is a special kind of glass which is actually more durable than normal glass - it is the same kind used in Pyrex and is less dense than ordinary glass and it also requires a much higher temperature to melt compared to ordinary silicate glass.
