Aventurine, Precious Metals

In this category you will find different materials and objects that can be worked into glass beads. The Aventurine blocks are from the company Effetre (also known as Moretti). Here you will also find precious metals (fine silver and fine gold), in the form of foils and leaf, to work into your beads. The use of these metals produces very interesting effects in lampworking beads. (Please use adequate ventilation when using metal in the flame.)

Please Note: We use the same picture for every Aventurine rock. The rock that you will receive will look the same in colour but the shape will be different.

We do our best to provide high quality, accurate pictures of the colours. Nevertheless please allow for inaccuracies. Each computer screen depicts the colours slightly differently. As well, the different production runs from the manufacturer sometimes produce slightly different colours.

Please note that all of the pictures are taken under the same light conditions and with the same camera settings so that the colours can be compared to each other. All of the pictures are a little bit overexposed. That means that the colours appear lighter than they are in reality. We do this so that the darker colours are easier to see.
