From the 2013 Holiday Collection, our handcrafted Christmas Cactus glass Bead features a handpainted polar bear scene designed by Truda ''TJ'' Mendenhall. Each handpainted bead has the initials of the talented Fenton artist who completed it. The bead has an approx. 3/16'' sterling silver core embossed with Fenton USA. Truda describes this bead as the "gorgeous blossoms on a cactus. . . who knew?."

Because of the handmade process, bead size may vary in size. In an age of mass production, Fenton remains committed to honoring the tradition of expressive, handmade creations. Each Fenton Made in America bead bears the signature of handcraftsmanship; those slight variations that convey distinction, character and charm. The handcrafted Fenton glass bead collection includes many of Fenton's unique glass colors and historic treatments. Fenton is the only beadmaker creating handpainted beads using high-fired enamel paints, giving Fenton's handpainted beads unmatched design flexibility and strong durability. Fenton Made in America beads are designed by lampwork artist Jena Lane Blair. The distinctive handpainted decorations are created by Fenton decorator Truda Mendenhall.

Fenton Made in America handcrafted glass beads are compatible with and will fit most major brands of bracelets and necklaces.
