Lampwork beads are handmade and are formed by hearting glass with a blowtorch and then working it into many different bead shapes. The colors and styles of these beads vary widely, but the look of a lampwork bead is usually glossy and ornate. Lampworking can be done with many types of glass, but the most common are soda-lime glass, sometimes called “soft glass”, and borosilicate glass, often called “hard glass”. The skill of clean lampwork beads is very important, which will affect the final quality. After these beads are created in the flame of a torch and cooled down to room temperature, debris from the bead release remains in the opening of the bead. This bead release is what enables the steel pipe to separate from the glass. Well, as these beads are made of glass, someone may ask if these lampwork beads are durable. Yes, if you treat them with care. Even artisan made lampwork beads can crack if you drop them on the floor. They are still glass and must be treated with some care.
