European Charm Beads – Encased Glass Murrini

Handmade Murrini & Underwater Aquarium Glass Beads
Even though making these beads takes a long time, a lot of work and concentration, (and can even be downright stressful at times!), they have become my all time favorite beads to make….thus far. 😉
No two of these beads are exactly the same so each of them is a one-of-a-kind, very special piece.
I build them murrini by murrini, rarely choosing the chips in advance. I like to be spontaneous and pick the murrini chips as I go along building the bead. Here’s a picture of the pile of murrini I have to choose from as I make a bead:
I also regularly make new murrini to add to my stash of chips to choose from. Here are some recent designs I made (these are currently available on Etsy):
Below are more encased murrini beads that were made in the past couple weeks. Many of them are still available on Etsy.

Underwater Aquarium Glass Bead Necklaces
These three beads were the models I used in my last tutorial, Making Beautiful Encased Murrini Beads.
I have held onto them all this time because they came out so nice, and were sentimental to me. But it is time to allow others to enjoy them as I have for so long. They are truly beautiful and full of tiny micro-details. I swear I see something new and different every time I look at them. 😀

The Obsession Returns – Encased Murrini Beads
Just when I thought I’d gotten tired of making these little gems, the obsession has struck again!
I usually like to make at least one or two of these types of beads to test new murrini and see how they look under encasement. The other day I was on a roll and made several – I still really enjoy making these beads! They are so challenging and in many ways they have a mind of their own, so the final result is always a bit of a surprise for me.
This week I have 5 new encased murrini beads, and 1 bubble crown bead. This bubble crown bead came out a little bigger than the ones I made before, it has 6 bubbles on top instead of 4, as well as an intricate swirled core of striped glass and shimmering dichroic. 😀
