My name is Ineke Mathot, also known as Mathot-Design in the Netherlands and Beadtreasures4you on Etsy. I am a lampwork beadmaker living in the Netherlands nearby Amsterdam. I realy love to make glass beads, try to find new designs, new techniques etc. My lampwork beads are handmade in my little atelier using a Isiheat burner and high quality Italian, German and American soft glass, also known as 'soda lime' or 'COE 104'. The glass for the beadsets is unless mentioned otherwise, wound on a 3/32" (2mm) mandrel. The Pandora/Trollbeads style beads all have a 5mm beadhole so they will fit all types of Europian style bracelets. The Trollbeads ONLY have a smaller beadhole so they only fit Trollbeadsstyle bracelets. To assure maximum durability and long-lasting beauty, my beads are always properly annealed overnight in a digitally controlled kiln and each bead hole is carefully cleaned using a diamond reamer to remove all release material leftover.
