Diamonds are our best friends

Pictured here is our diamond band saw being used in our Ruby Heart Stud production process

In our studio, we have a variety of cold-working equipment (think, glass woodworking shop) that is often used in combination with diamond infused abrasives. These diamond abrasives are essential to cut and grind our glass. We also have to use water when we use these abrasives due to the heat caused by the friction of the equipment on the glass. We have miniature versions of a Belt Sander, Band Saw, a Tile Saw, and we also use special bits for our Dremel.

After all of the cold-working is done, we put the glass into a kiln overnight to return the glass to its glossy shine. The result is our beautiful glass wearables that are available in a variety of hues and styles.
