Item Name:
Asian 7-8mm Cobalt Blue Rod
SKU:
AR-BLUE
Description:
Asian-made borosilicate color rod in a cobalt blue formulation, supplied in a 7–8mm diameter range. Color rod is used in lampworking as primary stock for building solid forms, adding color overlays, and creating decorative elements. Cobalt blue is typically chosen when you want a strong, saturated blue that reads bold and clean in finished work, providing high contrast against clear and lighter colors and maintaining its presence in both thin and thick applications.
How it is used:
This rod is used directly in the flame for lampworking. It can be melted down to build solid components, used for gathers and overlays, or pulled into smaller rod and stringer for detail work and fine line accents. The 7–8mm diameter range is especially useful when you want a moderate amount of glass for overlays, decorative elements, and components that need to hold heat during shaping and assembly. Cobalt blue rod is well-suited for bold color bands, sculptural details, and surface decoration, and it can be combined with clear for encasement effects that add depth while keeping the blue bright and saturated.
