About Frank Tuuri
Designer Frank Tuuri has been crafting vibrant glass jewelry in his studio outside Asheville, North Carolina, for nearly two decades. His fused glass jewelry incorporates dichroic glass made with vaporized metal oxides. The glass is fired in a kiln to over 1400 degrees in several layers and requires multiple firings over many hours to produce vivid colors. Each color combination is unique, so no two pieces are ever alike.
