Description:
Moretti Purple with white core Filigrana rods are soft glass color rods made with a filigrana construction, where a purple outer glass is built around a white core to create strong, consistent striping through the length of the rod. This style of filigrana is used when you want bold contrast and a clean, graphic line effect that stays readable as you twist, stretch, and shape the glass. The purple and white combination is especially useful for beads and decorative elements where you want the pattern to pop, even under a light encasement.
How it is used:
- Heat the rod end in a neutral flame and wind onto a mandrel to build beads with built-in striping.
- Twist the rod as it warms to tighten the spiral pattern before applying it to your work.
- Use as a decorative wrap over a base bead, then gently marver to smooth while keeping the striping clean.
- Pull into stringer for fine lined detail, then trail it for borders, scrollwork, and accents.
- Encase with clear soft glass to add depth and visually amplify the filigrana pattern.
