The technique for creating glass beads is known as "torch pulling," where colorful glass rods are heated in a flame reaching up to 1000 degrees Celsius until molten. This softened glass is then carefully wrapped around an iron rod to shape it. Once the shaped glass cools, the iron rod is removed, leaving a hole that allows for the attachment of cords or metal findings as pendants. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53159562710_58aaf7c4ac_n.jpg Japan's "Hotaru-dama," also known as Okinawa Firefly Stone. The firefly stone is a type of glass bead crafted using a special technique that combines silver foil and glass. Its name derives from the sparkling luster of the silver foil, reminiscent of fireflies. Its radiant deep blue hue seems to capture the beauty of Okinawa's ocean, miniaturized within the glass bead, dazzling the eyes of all who behold it. 【Luminous Glass Beads】 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53159201024_70de5b034c_n.jpg The glass beads themselves do not emit light, but the phosphorescent materials within them absorb sunlight and release stored energy in darkness, thus producing a glow. When the beads appear to lose their luminescence, simply placing them in sunlight to absorb light will allow them to shine again. Each bead is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans, ensuring that no two patterns are exactly alike, further enhancing their unique beauty. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53158287937_c49c11ae76_w.jpg ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 【Shipping Information】 [ Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan ] Shipped via Hong Kong Post as a small packet.
