The colors I received were low quality, and the variety wasn't very good, which is expected for the price. It's frustrating that I can't make anything that contains any of these colors without cracking, even with a very good annealing stage. So, perhaps it's good for practice of mixing colors, pulling stringers, and other skills, but don't count on using this for anything you intend to share or keep. So far, everything I've made with this glass has ended up in the trash. But again, for the price, it's perhaps OK for practice only.

I purchased this to try and save money over the big name companies I was purchasing from, and I have been extremely satisfied. This is quality glass at a good price. There was a good selection of colors and this has led to me purchasing many times from Devardi over the last year. I’m still a beginner (self taught for about 1.5 years) and still waste tons of glass, so I wanted something to experiment with and not cost me a fortune. This stuff saves me money and the quality has been good enough that I use it in my final pieces all the time. Not all of the colors are going to be 1st quality rods, but I don’t need that (you probably don’t either). I have had some issues encasing opaque greens from them. But their transparent pink and purple are two of my favorites from any manufacturer. Try them out with expectations of saving money and practicing like me, but be prepared to give them a large portion of your glass purchases once you try it out for your self.

this was my second time ordering this surprise bundle of rods and it was exciting to open and see what I got. the only problem I’ve had with them are some of the opaques have bubbles in them but it’s not a big deal I’ve been able to work them out easily. I got this super cool purple and a pink in this bundle which I didn’t get last time so I’m stoked about it.

Giving a 3 star due to packaging.The glass arrived later than expected. It was sent in a small mailer tube with a usps flat rate envelope. It had a note from the post office apologizing for any damage they may have caused. 3 of the rods were broken . Perhaps Bible wrap and a bigger tube would have provided some protection.I proceeded to test cutting it for a mosaic project I’m working on. The cut was clean. Overall I’m happy with the glass itself. I will definitely order more but in specific colors for my projects.I hope that the packaging will be better in the next order.

Very nice glass for crafts and easy to work with. Not too thin, not too thick! Having a great time learning how to do this lost craft of glass blowing. Will buy all of my glass needs from this seller. Alot of smoke shop sell small little glass for outrageous prices, Devardi is the best priced & perfect quality glass!!

The Devardi COE 33 glass rods are great! Vibrant colors, transparency and a wide selection make these rods perfect for bead makers and glass fusing. A few pieces were broken when they arrived (not due to packaging but I suspect the carrier). A simple email with Customer Service and everything was taken care of very promptly. I look forward to purchasing more item from Devardi in the future.
