They look sharp. Bet that it would make a great cabachon on the end of my tool handle. How hot does the oven have to be to get the results of melting glass?

My wife want's to know if you have looked into lining the hole with silver tubing, so that they would be sized to fit her troll bracelet, and how much you are getting for them :)

Thanks for the comments.
The glass is melted with a high temp. torch rather than an oven. I think it is around 2000 deg. Different glass takes different temps. to become molten. It is almost as addictive as casting but, with a little more control.
I'm not sure what a troll bracelet is but, the hole can be made any size. These beads are the size of a large blueberry and can also be made any size.
As for selling them, I haven't sold any. I started making them for my wife, she uses them for jewelry, keychains, and some other things. But if you are interested, PM me and we'll go from there.
