Faceted Beads by Bruce St. John Maher

Landscape faceted beads by Bruce St. John Maher. These things are incredible! They are hand painted in layers with iridescent paints for a beautiful 3-D effect. (*Very* labor intensive: hand painted in layers and cooked in a kiln between each layer, then faceted and polished.) Each piece is unique, with amazing attention to detail.

These are some of the artistic works that have earned him international praise and awards.

Some of these beads have areas of color change: lilac pink to blue, a true color change created with rare earth additives.
The beads with a white opal moon also have glow-in-the-dark agents on the opal, which is really cool and shows his attention to subtle details. These are rare earth/ metals- NOT phosphorus, but phosphors. Check out the pictures below- they are really cool!
