Cubic ZirconiaThey have a striking sparkle, just like diamonds. Ok, the sparkle is a bit less than a diamond, but a lot more affordable. There have actually been cases where trained gemologist thought these were diamonds.
A great place to purchase these is COE90 . They have them for sale. They really add that touch of class to your jewelry pieces. When making a fused piece of glass, you can drill a hole in the glass and place the stone in the hole. Then fire as usual in your kiln. The glass molds around the gem, holding it into place.
I prefer to cut up glass, and just place my stone in between pieces. Then I place my glass piece in the kiln, and fuse all the glass together.
These stones are not “Tested Compatible”, but I have not had any problems in fusing these into my pieces, and neither has the individuals at coe90. COE90 has also tested their samples without any problems. These gems can add more sparkle and glimmer to your glass fused art work. As you can see, I embedded it into some dichroic glass.
