Simply twist off the threaded ball end and slide on beads for elegant, interchangeable jewelry designs.
TECHNIQUE:
Crafted over multiple firings, this piece starts as alternating strips of colored sheet glass fused into a panel. The panel is reheated and melted together in a glass blowing studio called a “hot shop” and rolled onto a blow pipe. The molten hot glass is stretched and pulled into a rod called "cane", using a classic murrini technique.
This cane is cut into small pieces of varying thicknesses, revealing the pattern in cross-section. These pieces, called murrini, are placed in a mold, melted in a kiln, and are fused into a solid shape. Finally this piece is carved and polished by hand and paired with the perfect bail and chain to highlight the beauty and intricacy of this unique piece.
