Necklace, "Heart in Chains" on Neoprene w/Silver Mesh GBN22-4919

Lampwork Heart bead with embedded silver chains & Austrian crystal.  Strung on Black Neoprene covered with silver mesh.  Silver lobster clasp.  

Neoprene is a synthetic rubber you might recognize from gloves or wet-suits, for example.  It's sturdy & most people have no reaction to it.  

BEAD JEWELRY (Necklaces & Bracelets)
I use 104 COE glass for all my beads - Effetre (formerly Moretti), Lausha, Messy, and assorted silver reactives like TAG and Double Helix. I work on a Minor torch and use either my Arrow Springs A-18 kiln or my Toolbox kiln to digitally anneal every bead. Unless specifically noted, all findings (the little metal parts) are Sterling or Argentium silver.
