About Beaver Island Jewelry

Beaver Island Jewelry and Beads sells beads filled with nature and the secrets of Beaver Island- for jewelry designers and bead collectors.

A natural gas torch, along with oxygen, is utilized to melt glass rods. The beads are then annealed or hardened in a digitally controlled kiln overnight. Moretti (Murano, Italy) soft glass is mostly used but also some German and American glass. See Glass Lampwork section for more information regarding this most interesting artistic glass beadmaking process.

Contact Nancy Peterson for more information or photos of other items available.

Please note that all beads and jewelry are one-of-a-kind.
