Metallic luster bead glaze?? Bit of fun! Why not right!? ✨🧚🏻‍♀️🌈 I’m still doing a lot of initial testing using the micro raku as I develop glazes and test ideas, but my real luster work is done using a gas reduction now. It’s technical and has been a process to master. (still working on it for sure!!) But the vibe in the studio is an ultra creative high right now. ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #beadglaze #metallicbeadglaze #inspiration #glaze #beautiful #reduction #lustreglaze #gaskiln #goldceramics #lus

This is what goes through my mind as I am looking at a colourless stone determining if it’s Diamond or CZ 💎 I’m Marie, I’ve been a Gemmologist for over 20years and I work with diamonds and gemstones every day. Diamonds and CZ have some very different properties. My top tips would be to look with your eye at the lustre and surface condition of the material. Then under 10x magnification you can look at the facet conditions, dispersion, inclusions, girdle condition and even the damage to the stone
