Hotaru Glass beads are popular as a souvenir from Okinawa along with Ryukyu glass. They are the same as the Tonbo glass beads made by Takashi Hirose, and are artisan glass crafts. Glass is melted with a burner using skillful techniques to create beautiful beads with many layers. The method of making is called burner work or lamp work. Venetian glass beads are made in the same way. The feature is that silver leaves are put in the beads during firing, so they reflect light and sparkle.

Classic look unisex Hotaru glass bracelet

At first glance, it looks like a rosary using stretchy string, but it is actually a type of bracelet that does not stretch. It has an adjuster so you can adjust the length.

Stretch string rosary bracelets become unusable when the rubber stretches out. They tend to have a short lifespan. I made something similar but stronger using non stretch jewelry string.

This classic design with the transparent beads can be used regardless of gender. It's nice to have a matching pair with someone.

All Hotaru beads of this size I use are all "glow in the dark" types. It stores sunlight and glows like a firefly after sunset. It's very romantic.
