All lampwork beads have been created in the D&M ArtWorks studio. Please visit us often as this is an ever-evolving endeavour. Although it is always possible for a bead to develop a crack or flaw down the road, it is highly unlikely if the beads have been cured properly. All lampwork beads offered on this site have been kiln annealed after creation to ensure lasting durability and beauty. D&M ArtWorks guarantees all craftmanship. CAUTION: Please remember that these beads are made from glass and, if dropped on a hard surface, they may break!
