The Offset Round Pendants mold from Colour de Verre casts six round pendants in three different sizes in a single firing. The large pendant measures 1.675 inches (42 mm), the medium 1.375 inches (35 mm), and the small 1.125 inches (28 mm). The mold footprint is 7.75 inches by 5 inches, with a depth of 1 inch.
Load the cavities with frit or thin sheet dichroic glass and fire. Colour de Verre's cavity geometry and recommended firing guidance are designed so the finished pendants require little to no cold work such as grinding or polishing. The pendants can be strung on leather, rubber, silk, or metal cord. Like all ceramic casting molds, this one is COE agnostic and reusable across many firings when primed correctly before each use.
What does the Offset Round Pendants mold make?
It casts six round pendants in three sizes per firing: large at 1.675 inches (42 mm), medium at 1.375 inches (35 mm), and small at 1.125 inches (28 mm).
What glass can I use in this mold?
Any COE fusible glass works. Ceramic casting molds are COE agnostic, so COE96, COE90, and other compatible fusible glass all work. Frit and thin sheet dichroic glass are both suitable. Match your firing schedule to the glass you are using.
How much glass do I need per pendant?
Colour de Verre lists fill weights of 14 grams for the large cavity, 10 grams for the medium, and 6 grams for the small. Weigh your glass and test a first run when the result matters.
How do I prep the mold before use?
Prime the cavities before every firing with a boron nitride mold primer and let it dry completely before adding glass. Colour de Verre recommends a boron nitride aerosol primer for this mold.

Working Notes
These are guidelines, not guarantees. Every kiln fires a little differently, so test a small run first when the result matters and follow a casting schedule suited to your glass and kiln.
- Prime the cavities before every use with ZYP Boron Nitride Mold Primer or Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before adding glass. Re-prime before every firing.
- Fill with frit or thin sheet dichroic glass. Use the fill weights above: 14 grams for the large cavity, 10 grams for the medium, and 6 grams for the small.
- The mold is COE agnostic. Use a firing schedule matched to your glass COE.
- Let the kiln cool fully before removing the cast pendants. Re-prime the mold before each subsequent firing.
- The pendants are designed to require little to no cold work after firing.
Colour de Verre Suggested Firing Schedule
This is a suggested starting point based on Colour de Verre's general guidance, not a guarantee. Every kiln fires differently. Follow the Colour de Verre project sheet for this mold and test a small run first.
- Heat no faster than about 350 F (195 C) per hour.
- Fire to no more than about 1450 F (785 C).
- Add a controlled cool with an anneal soak suited to your glass COE. Consult the Colour de Verre project sheet and your glass manufacturer for the correct anneal temperature.
