Among these colors, pink holds a special, vibrant allure. However, many lampworkers have noticed a significant increase in the cost of pink glass in recent years, leading some suppliers to discontinue its availability. So why is pink glass so expensive, and what factors contribute to its rising price?

Petal Pink Lampwork Beads

The beads were crafted using Double Helix Oracle Pink Pastel and a trial batch of pink glass. Introducing Reichenbach Heliotrope over a white base produced a striking fuchsia pink hue. Witnessing the reactions that Reichenbach triggers over the glass is truly astounding, resulting in vivid and captivating colors.

Double Helix Pink Glass

Last week, my new Double Helix light pink glass colors arrived. The transparent one is a test batch BGX-894 and the opaque is Oracle Pink Pastel. These colors are technical colors and are not striking or reducing. These colors did not disappoint. They melted very nicely as expected when using Double Helix glass. There was no bubbling and shocking when making these beads. Really just a no fuss pink which is not usually the case with Effetre and CIM pinks.
