Blue Lampwork Glass Beads 4oz (30+)

Blue Lampwork Glass Beads

Blue Lampwork Glass Beads are large and chunky and sold in 4 ounce assortments of approximately 20+ pieces. These beads are competitively priced by weight for use in mosaic art, but the diameters of most of these beads are 1/2 inch or more, which means they best pressed into mortar or concrete instead of being glued to a flat surface.

Product Coverage

This is a problematic question because beads was intended to be used as an accent instead of as area coverage, and the piece size can vary. One 4-ounce assortment covers roughly 3+ square inches.

Compatibility

The Blue Lampwork Glass Beads are usually 3/8 inch or larger in diameter, which is thicker than mosaic of the glass mosaic tile we sell. For this reason, these beads are best used by pressing into a bed of thinset mortar or a stepping stone mold filled with concrete.

Millefiori TRANSLUCENT GEMS 2oz

Millefiori Gems

Millefiori Gems 10mm-12mm (3/8 inch to 1/2 inch) are the rounded gems used to make millefiori beads, but they do not have beading holes and are used for mosaic art. The sides are rounded so the pieces are ovoid bead-shapes instead of being cylinders with straight edges like standard millefiori. The gems are sold in 2-ounce units (approximately 50+ pieces) and are much cheaper than traditional Italian millefiori.

Note that the designs are fairly uniform, and there aren’t many different designs, usually only three or four designs per color. Don’t expect an assortment of many different designs.

What Is Millefiori?

Millefiori is a traditional form of art glass that is disk-shaped with different multicolored patterns and is commonly used in jewelry and mosaic art.

Product Coverage

This is a problematic question because the millefiori was intended to be used as an accent instead of as area coverage, and the piece size can vary. That being said, one 2-ounce bag should cover roughly 5 or 6 square inches, but that will depend somewhat on how efficiently you nest the pieces.

Compatibility

The thickness is about 1/8 inch and is the nominal thickness of most of the glass mosaic tile we sell, so it should be fairly easy to incorporated these into your art.

Cutting Millefiori Gems

Millefiori Gems can be cut using the Mosaic Glass Cutter we sell, but these are small enough to use without cutting.

Millefiori Gems 10mm-12mm

  • Price is per 2 ounces (approximately 50+ pieces)
  • Diameter: approximately 10mm to 12mm (3/8 inch to 1/2 inch).
  • Thickness: roughly 1/8 inch.
  • Coverage: each 2 ounce bag should cover roughly 5 or 6 square inches.
  • Material: glass with color throughout.
  • frost proof.
  • impervious to liquids.
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor installation.
  • Not suitable for floors.

Using Millefiori Gems In Mosaic Art

Millefiori Gems are more consistent in thickness than most millefiori assortments. They can be used in thinset mortar for mosaic art in outdoor and wet projects. For dry, indoor projects, you can attach it to backers with a high-quality white PVA adhesive like the Weldbond we sell. A pair of tweezers are indispensable for positioning the tiny pieces like these and keeping your fingertips cleaner of glues and cements.
