I'd ask my friends to come and see Coco's garden with me...
With Mommy's Day right around the corner, what better way to celebrate the love of grandmothers, mommies, daughters, and even granddaughters then to create beautiful keepsake bracelets especially designed, for your family?
LaDolceSwag has partnered with an artisan so famous, we're sure if you snooped around - you'd figure it out, however she is true to her craft and created especially for us: Coco's Garden. Each unique bead is hand-crafted, using centuries-old process called lampworking. Lampworking is glassworking using a torch to melt and shape colorful rods of glass. The molten glass is then wound around a steel rod, forming a basic bead which is then embellished and decorated using varieties of techniques and materials, making each bracelet one-of-a-kind. You can either choose to have every bracelet completely different or have all the pieces match in tones, hues and textures. You are the dreamer of this dream - you can even choose your own adventure and personalize each piece to what you think the recipient might like.
Choosing colors and beads are just such a blast and make gift giving so special.
The earliest glass beads were reserved exclusively for royalty, and in medieval Europe, the techniques for working with glass were closely guarded within families. Although the art form has been practiced since ancient Egyptian times it flowered in Murano, Italy in the 1300s, and spread from there to the rest of the world.
In addition to bracelets, Coco's Garden has a selection of hand-made glass pieces such as "Courtney" pens, "Franny" wine toppers, "LaDolceSwag" jewelry and "The Perfect Swag" spreaders. Dial up The Perfect Swag at 949.335.5741 for more details!
