- Starting out its life as a SMOKE-AB Color Faceted Glass Bead for chandeliers, it has become the whorl for an incredibly unique support spindle! The spindle is made with 28 individual pieces and the bead is mounted to one of my specially prepared signature Powder-Coat Painted Steel Shafts with its Heat Forged Hook and is available in 10 colors. The top and bottom sides of the bead has shaft-color matching crystals mounted to it - along with large gold plated bead caps, crystal bead spacers, and gold plated and brass findings. All components are meticulously assembled with industrial strength 2-part epoxy resin adhesive. This is a medium weight support spindle with a small diameter Tahkli shaft that gives a fast and long spin and will be excellent for a wide variety of fine fibers.
- IMPORTANT NOTE: This spindle is hand-made with 28 individual pieces and the faceted glass bead is also hand-made - with holes and facets that vary in shape and orientation - so you may notice a slight wobble when free-spinning (no fiber), but the effect is negligible when spinning fiber… Regardless, I GUARANTEE ALL OF MY SPINDLES and if you are unsatisfied with it, contact me and I’ll make it right!
- The Crystal Balls are made for Chandeliers and are not gems and most of them have slight imperfections in the finish and/or tiny chips in the facets… PLEASE TAKE PRECAUTIONS to not drop or strike the Glass/Crystal Ball in order to prevent breakage.
