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 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.
After cooling, cane is sliced into varying thicknesses, revealing the pattern in cross-section. A slice from this cane, called a murrini, is shaped and fire polished to create a one of a kind piece paired with the perfect bail.
