Boro Necklaces

Known for its durability, borosilicate glass can go "from freezer to oven." In fact, Deborah checks her pieces for flaws by dropping them on a table. She enjoys making light, fun pieces that showcase the unique glitter of boro. Many of her pieces feature components that move or flow.

AND THEY SAID YOU COULDN'T MAKE A SMALL GLASS CHAIN

More versatile that pearls, the entwined links slowly warm from the wearer's body heat.
