Ibiscus

The Le Gemme series is fashioned using artisan techniques and expert hand-craftsmanship that make each tessera unique, luxurious and one-of-a-kind. The individuality of this series derives from the special glass-coloring technique that includes the addition of aventurine and colored enamel granules. Aventurine is a type of glass obtained through artisan craftsmanship, a technique passed down by the Murano glass masters for centuries. Copper crystals mixed with brilliant metal oxides are found inside aventurine where they create a golden scintillating flamed effect in the mosaic tesserae.

The Vetricolor series is known for its rich, vibrant hues achieved through the use of oxides that, fusing completely with the glass, allow the creation of pure colors. The addition of sand to the pâte de verre during the coloring phase of the Vetricolor series of glass tesserae produces a typical sand-blasted effect that lends greater three-dimensionality to the color.
