Imported Devardi glass rods. COE 104. Rods come in various lengths and widths. 6-10 mm in width, and 8-13 inches in length. The rods you receive are not the exact ones in the picture, but identical. Mixes well with Moretti and other COE 104 glass.

Devardi glass is a handmade, hand pulled glass that uses very ancient glass formulas. It is a glass that is very saturated with color. It has advantages over Moretti glass such as that it "burns and discolors" at a much higher temperature. The color of the rods are the colors you will receive in your bead. However, with different heat settings, most Devardi glass colors provide different effects. The opaques tend to mottle with high heat, resembling a marbled look, or remain the color of the rod with cooler flames. Different oxygen/propane mixes also can give different appearances.

Devardi is different than Moretti glass, and takes some getting used to if you are familiar with Moretti, since it requires different temperatures and gas mixtures. Once you become accustom to it, you will find it to be a great glass. We will include a list of tips and tricks with each order. Some drawbacks are that some of the Opaque colors can shock a bit easier if not heated slowly. Those who are used to Moretti glass usually apply too much heat from the start, causing the rods to splinter. Just lower the flame at the start to solve this problem, or just preheat the rods, especially the thicker ones. The semi-opaque and the transparent colors tend to not have this problem. Some of the transparent colors also tend to bubble if too much heat is used, just like any variety. Simply reduce the heat and apply the glass in thinner layers, unless you are looking for those bubbles. Also, since these rods are hand pulled, they are not perfectly straight or uniform. Not a problem, they just dont look as great as Moretti. And the rods will vary in width and length.

Thanks for looking. Kindly, Natasha
