Made to order. The bead itself measures approximately 0.5” in height & width and is square shaped. The beads will be made with Cape Cod sand unless you ask me to leave the bead sand free. If you would like me to use sand from a specific beach, please contact me by telephone or email when you submit your order. The sand can be added to the interior or exterior of the bead. When the sand is on the interior you’ll see it but won’t feel it. When the sand is on the exterior you’ll see it AND feel it. The bead in these photos has sand on the exterior. The ivory glass represents beautiful Cape Cod sand and the color on the top will represent the different colors of our ocean. The final touch to these beads are pretty little scallop shells but if you would like your beads be finished WITHOUT the scallops, be sure to indicate that preference in the comments section just prior to final checkout. You may note any other preferences in the comments section . If I have any questions or recommendations I will contact you prior to making your beads.
