The Allure of Pandora’s Box

When creativity meets artistry, the result can be nothing short of spectacular. And that’s precisely the case when Stephanie White, the owner of SWCreations, a studio known for its exquisite handmade jewelry and lampwork beads, works her glass magic with Pandora’s Box.

One of our most popular 96 COE frit blends, Pandora’s Box is a kaleidoscope of rich and contrasting colors - warm ambers, moody purples and hints of vibrant turquoise.  The blend’s name is fitting, as it unleashes a world of unexpected beauty whenever it’s applied to molten glass.

Bringing Beads to Life

In Stephanie’s hands, this Frit Heaven blend tells a tale of discovery and transformation.  Each bead captures the unpredictable interplay of base glass colors and frit as they melt in the flame.  The patterns range from soft, dreamy swirls to lively explosions of color as Stephanie adjusts the heat or adds layers of frit.

A Testament to Craftsmanship

SW Creations’ artistry begins with a simple mix of glass fragments, then evolves into stunning lampwork beads that embody creativity, precision and passion.  You can follow Stephanie’s process and see the sets of Pandora’s Box lampwork beads here.  And if you’re looking to own a finished or custom piece of Stephanie’s one-of-a-kind lampwork jewelry, explore her collection on the SW Creations website.
