Create sparkling beads with aventurine glass. Gold aventurine rods make achieving a metallic effect in your lampworked beads easy. Apply it as an accent, or create the entire bead from aventurine for stunning results.
Rod measures approximately 2-1/2 - 4 mm in diameter. Approximately 10" - 13" length. 1/4 lb bundle. 104 COE.
Looking for Stringers?
Aventurine gold stringers and rods are very similar in size. To give customers more value and convenience, we are now offering one diameter. Create your own custom sized, sparkling stringers:
Heat the rod to form a gather of glass.
Use tweezers or a punty of the same COE to pull in a fluid motion to create a stringer. Note: The faster you pull, the thinner the stringer will be stretched. With practice you will be able to control the diameter of stringers to produce uniform pieces with ease.
The image, below right, shows the process of creating a stringer, from the "Complete Book of Beadmaking" #6180. Far right image showcases beads created by artist Val Oswalt-De Waard.
