Understanding Glass Annealing: Why It Matters for Your Jewelry
Annealing is the secret behind the strength and durability of professional-grade glass jewelry. It's a process where flame-worked glass is slowly cooled in a digitally controlled kiln, relieving internal stress and preventing weak spots.
What Proper Annealing Does:
- Prevents micro-fractures
- Ensures longevity and resistance to temperature change
- Enhances comfort — annealed jewelry is smoother and more symmetrical
- Makes the piece less likely to shatter or chip
