In the studio, the glass is cut to various shapes and sizes, then laid up in four to six layers for each fused piece. The pieces are kiln fired to a temperature of approximately 1500 degrees Fahrenheit. After the desired temperature is achieved, the glass must cool in the kiln for an additional length of time. The total firing time, including cooling, takes about 10 hours, then its time to finish each bead and begin putting all of the pieces together. I take the time to embed wire links in each bead before firing begins. Fusing the links into the glass insures a permanent bond and no glue is necessary." This Birgitt Hellemann Artisan bracelet features black with gray stripe and clear cube beads made of fused glass. The toggle closure ensures that the bracelet stays secure on your wrist. The silver chain is beaded and measures 7.5 inches in length. With a total of six gemstones, this handmade bracelet is signed by the artisan who crafted it.
