Lesley McIver is a glass artist living and working in the Nelson region of New Zealand. She makes lamp-worked glass beads from Italian Murano glass which she turns into stunning pieces of jewellery. Only the finest quality materials are used to augment her glass and may include Swarovski crystal, sterling silver New Zealand Paua and pearls. Lesley’s work is influenced by nature and the people she designs it for, and each piece is always designed with the wearer in mind. All aspects of this relationship are explored, from the practical aspects of comfort and usability to fashion and even colour therapy. Her work is all of the highest quality – all the glass beads are kiln annealed and extremely strong, and components are chosen carefully to ensure a lifetime (or many lifetimes) of joy.
