The Art Behind the Amethyst Aura Frit Blend

Our Amethyst Aura Frit Blend was created through a careful combination of glass colors, carefully crafted to enhance the natural beauty of amethyst stones. This blend features a harmonious mix of purples, lavenders, and subtle pinks, designed to produce vibrant reactions and a sense of depth within each bead. The frit's composition includes semi-transparent and opaque elements, creating a dynamic interplay of light and color in every piece.

Thanks to the precise process of in-house frit development, we can control the temperature and layering techniques to generate beautiful surface reactions—resulting in fascinating mosaic patterns and swirling effects. Each bead is a unique work of art, with no two exactly alike.

Craftsmanship and Style

The beads crafted with our Amethyst Aura frit were made in two distinct styles:

  • Mosaic Style: These beads feature the frit blend applied on top of the bead surface that creates a beautiful mosaic pattern. The result is a rich tapestry of color reactions, swirling swaths of purple, pink, and lavender, all bursting with visual interest. The mosaic design highlights the frit’s variegated nature, creating an intricate mosaic effect that catches the eye from every angle. This can be bold or subtle depending on how reactive the base glass color.

  • Swirl Encased Style: One of the beads showcases a beautiful spiral design created with our frit in a swirl encased style. Encasing the swirl with a milky, semi-transparent layer adds depth and softness, resulting in a gorgeous, opalescent glow that enhances the natural hues of the frit. This blend created a lovely shade of purple-pink tones.
