"Hi Natasha! I just want to tell you… so far I couldn't be happier. (Devardi Glass) is so easy to work with and the colors are beautiful. Everything arrived in perfect condition thanks to all the amazing packaging, very impressive. Finally, thank you for the free gifts that were enclosed with my order. What a great surprise, I've never dealt with a company that was so generous before. So here is a big THANK YOU for everything. I already am telling everyone I can get to listen about Devardi Glass and I promise I will be a loyal customer for as long as I am doing beads. Have a great day, C~" |

"My order
arrived yesterday, and I started melting right away. I couldn't wait to just
"play" with some colors, so I made several beads with various combos of
Devardi, CIM, Effetre,
Vetro, Lauscha, and a few silver glasses. The Devardi is totally different
in consitancey from any other brand I've used - it melts quickly and stays
extremely thick and viscous - didn't get runny no matter how hot it got.
Some colors were thicker than others, but none were even close to something
like Effetre White. Only the Opaque colors showed any tendency to shockiness,
and my impatience didn't help! I seldom wait for glass to warm up slowly,
unless it's horribly shocky. None of the
Devardi
colors were too bad. I
did put a really gorgeous color rod in the kiln to anneal after it shot off
a few chips -- it was just way too beautiful to risk a bit of! One surprising bead was a base of Butterscotch, topped with dots of Psyche. Major reactions from the Psyche immediately. Just barely touched with a redux flame and the Psyche went bonkers. Also tried Miro, Aion2, and VanGogh. All reacted quickly with no scary results. Finally stopped playing long enough to do a few stringer pulls for compatibility. Tested Devardi Amber against Lauscha Soft Clear. One set of pulls was with some older clear, and the other was the newest version. All pulls were approx. 28" long, and looked quite straight - no extreme curl in any sample. When laid out on a grid, the curvature measured 6-9mm on all pulls, and all curved towards the Devardi. Beads were all garaged and then annealed overnight in a digitally controlled kiln running my regular 104 schedule. The only cracked bead was one that I stared at so long it broke before getting to the kiln. That bead was an unidentified Op. Blue that turned a beautiful coppery-red and oilslick looking when heavily reduced. I smeared some clear on the reduction, and it held perfectly in the kiln. B~" |

"Devardi glass is
great. I am pleased
with the way it works and the colors i ordered were great. Really bright. I have used moretti now for about 4 years and thay have a tendancy to fracture if put straight in flame. I take the rods and work in out of flame15 to 30 seconds and melt, very little shock, no more than moretti. I made several marbles from 5/8 to 1 1/4 inches annealled all night and never lost any. I have not had a chance to mix the two glasses. I did mix 4 colors togeather and no cracks when done. Natasha put everything up front on what to exspect and has emailed me back and answered all my questions. Shipping was fast also. I give them 5 stars for all they have done for me. I am getting ready to make annother order. Thanks M~" |
