Item Name:
Moretti Effetre Special Rod - Dark Red - 5mm - 6mm
SKU:
1556436
Description:
This is an Effetre Moretti special color rod in Red Dark. It is manufactured as a solid, round rod and pulled to a consistent working diameter range of 5–6 mm so it can be fed directly into a lampworking flame for beadmaking and small flameworked components. This deeper red is used when you want a richer, more grounded red than a standard medium red, especially for designs that need strong color presence without reading as bright or candy-like.
How it is used:
- Use as a base color for beads and small sculptural work when you need a saturated, darker red body color.
- Apply as wraps and layered panels for bold red sections, then shape with gravity and marvering for clean coverage.
- Pull stringer for fine linework such as outlines, borders, and controlled striping.
- Combine with ivory, black, and warm neutrals for high-contrast designs, or layer with transparent reds for depth.
