What is a lentil? It describes shapes that domed
surfaces that taper to a crisp edge all the way around. The domed
surface is a sensual canvas that looks great and lays great whether it
is fire polished smooth or decorated with a raised design. Because
of the domed surface it also means that the beads lay nicely against the
skin.
Just like with the faceted line, the Lentils require less glass than
tab shapes because of the tapering edges. (For an explanation of our
shapes, go to our FAQ page). This is
an added benefit to you as a lampworker because it will take you less
time to wind on your base amount of glass and also saves you glass. It
is a benefit to you as a jewelry designer or your customers because beads
will weigh less and not be bulky in your pieces. The domed surfaces
allow flush designs to be viewed without interruption.

This tool provides 2 cavities for 1-1/6" x 7/8" (27.5 mm x 22.5mm) oval lentils in 2 different thicknesses. The nice larger shape provides plenty of surface area for decoration and you'll be amazed at how easy it is to achieve this bead.
Note: If you notice a slight dip in the surface of the bead, that is a result of the machining process. Once your bead is made, it blends right into the smooth surface and can be fire polished away with care if desired.

Large Oval Lentil - $65
