Glass Bead Artist, Shelah Pansegrau, creates one of a kind, flame-worked, glass beads which are designed into intimate and wearable art.
Earthy, gem-like and translucent beads made from Venetian and German glass are strung into her
much sought after BELLA DOLCI collection of bracelets and necklaces.
Every bead is individually hand crafted from imported glass rods, pure gold and silver leaf, reduction frits
and intense fire. Every piece of jewelry is designed and crafted to include lustrous pearls,
Swarovski crystals, sterling silver beads and findings and a sterling silver tag bearing the artist's signature,
BELLA DOLCI, Italian for "Beautiful Sweets".
The Bella Dolci collection expresses the artist's evolving style and shows complex precision
and sensuous elegance in earthy, dreamy and vibrant palettes. Shelah finds working with molten glass
exciting and expressive, challenging and dangerous, obsessive and satisfying.
