Item Name:
Moretti Gray Pearl Pastel Effetre Glass Stringer (2mm - 3mm)
SKU:
1558268
Description:
This 104 COE soft glass stringer is made from Moretti Effetre glass that has been melted and drawn down into a thin, consistent rod for detailed lampworking applications. The stringer is produced by pulling molten glass into a narrow diameter, creating a material that heats quickly and allows controlled placement of color on beads and small sculptural forms. Pearl pastel grey is a soft, opaque neutral with a slightly warm tone that is especially useful when you want gentle shading, clean linework, and subtle contrast without overpowering surrounding colors. This stringer is commonly used in 104 COE beadmaking and soft glass lampworking for surface decoration, fine details, and layered design work where precise color control and smooth melt-in behavior are important.
How it is used:
- Apply fine lines and scrollwork on beads, pendants, and small sculptural forms for crisp surface decoration
- Use for subtle shading and outlining when you want a neutral tone that blends smoothly into other pastel palettes
- Melt in lightly for raised linework or fully melt in for smooth, flush decoration depending on the finished texture you want
- Pull into finer stringers in the flame for extremely detailed work such as facial features, lettering, and delicate patterning
- Combine with other compatible 104 COE colors for layered designs, dot stacks, and controlled color transitions
