Description:

This Moretti Effetre filigrana rod is a specialty soft-glass cane built from multiple bundled elements to create a decorative internal pattern, with aventurine included for a subtle metallic sparkle effect. Filigrana rods are used when you want pattern and visual texture already engineered into the glass, so you can melt it in and pull it into stringer, use it as a design stripe, or apply it as surface decoration without having to build the pattern by hand. It is especially useful for beads and small sculptural work where you want consistent, repeatable patterning and a shimmering accent that stays integrated in the glass.

How it is used:

• Pre-warm the rod gradually to reduce thermal shock, then bring the end to a gather.
• Use the gather to apply decorative wraps or stripes onto a warm base bead or component.
• Pull the molten gather into stringer for fine filigrana linework and detailed surface trails.
• Use light heat and controlled marvering to keep the internal pattern crisp while shaping.

Dimensions:

• 5mm – 6mm diameter rod
