Item Name: Moretti Effetre Filigrana - White - 5mm - 6mm SKU: 1557208 Description: Moretti White Filigrana is a soft glass color rod made with a filigrana construction that builds fine linear patterning into a clean white base. This style of rod is used when you want consistent internal striping that stays visible as the glass is melted, twisted, and stretched, giving you built-in detail without needing complex surface decoration. White filigrana is especially useful for high-contrast design work, because it reads clearly against transparent colors, reacts well visually when layered under encasement, and can be pulled down into cane or stringer for crisp linework, borders, and twist accents. How it is used: Heat the rod end in a neutral flame and wind onto a mandrel to form beads with built-in line definition. Twist the rod while warm to tighten the filigrana pattern, then apply as wraps or gathers for patterned bead bodies. Pull into stringer for fine lined trailing, borders, and scrollwork that stays bright and readable. Use as an overlay on a colored base bead, then marver smooth to keep the surface clean while preserving the internal striping. Encase with clear soft glass to add depth and create a layered look that emphasizes the filigrana lines. Dimensions: Rod diameter: 5mm – 6mm Show more
