Item Name:
Moretti Effetre Rod - Transparent Gaggia - 5mm - 6mm
SKU:

Description:
Moretti Gaggia Transparent is a soft glass color rod made by Effetre, manufactured as smooth rods for lampworking. This color is a pale amber tone with a clean transparent body, making it a strong choice when you want warm, natural-looking color that still allows light to travel through the glass. In lampworking it is commonly used for bead bases, layered transparent effects, and subtle shading, especially in designs where you want depth and glow rather than an opaque surface. Rod form makes it easy to heat, gather, and apply with control for both beadmaking and small sculptural components.
How it is used:
- Pre-warm the rod in the outer flame, then move into the working flame to begin melting evenly.
- Wind onto a mandrel for transparent bead bases with a pale amber tone.
- Use as a transparent overlay to warm up other colors while keeping depth and light transmission.
- Pull into stringer for fine linework, scrolls, and controlled shading details.
- Apply small gathers as dots and accents for warm highlights that stay transparent.
