Lampworking is a technique that allows modelling a glass rod (full or not), making the glass reaching a temperature such as to make it "soft". This temperature is reached thanks to the use of a flame obtained from disbursement contemporarily of methane and oxygen. This technique permits to create different objects (such as beads, pendants, rings, various miniature objects), whose value is derived from the ability of the artisan workmanship and stylization. Thanks to this type of processing, can be reached countless shades of color, mixing different hot rods. The use of perforated barrel, also, allows the artisan to create blown glass objects.
By the term "glass fusion" means the construction of a new glass plate that will serve to produce the objects and jewelry. This is done in an assembling process, with which they are put together pieces of glass and other materials (gold leaf, silver leaf, murrine cane zanfirico): the various elements, if processed at very high temperatures, blend in irreversible. The product, after being assembled, is baked in ovens at high temperature (from 700 to 850 degrees), and thereafter, at the end of the cooking cycle, is cooled very slowly in order to obtain a product qualitatively optimal : the latter passage allows, in physical terms, to reach again the molecular stability that the product possessed before cooking.
Please note that Murano Cufflinks can have rough edges and what look like flaws. These are part of the uniqueness and design of every item and are something that add to the beauty. Cufflinks can be slightly different colours due to monitor settings and the lighting used during photography.
