German Glass Glitter. Versatile Professional Shimmer & Sparkle.

Merchandise Production:
Add the colour shimmer and sparkle of abalone shells to sea side themed creations and invitation cards. The glitter may be attached to surfaces and fabrics using conventional adhesives including hot glue.

German glass glitter is convenient to handle and colours can be easily mixed with other colours and overlaid to dramatic effect. Note the term "abalone" is used to describe the colour, this is a glass glitter and is not been made from seashells.

Imaging and Film Assignments:
Unique among modern glitters, glass glitter holds no electrostatic charge, hence as it doesn't "cling" to surfaces (and fingers !). In itself this is significant benefit for photographic assignments, but also unlike plastic glitter, glass glitter can be accurately sprinkled, mixed, brushed and placed.

Resin and Terrazzo Surfaces:
This glitter has a density similar to that of "normal" aggregates. This makes it ideal for resin and concrete screeds as the particles are less likely to segregate when mixing.

Window Dressing:
Not only does the glitter look spectacular when lit with moving lights, and especially so when mixed with blue and silver glitters, as the weight of glass glitter can be up to five times greater than plastic based products it is substantially easier to place and finally clear away when used for window and event displays.

Theatres and Public Events:
German glass glitter is neither combustible or explosive making it suitable for theatres and to add summer sun sparkle to seaside carnivals.

Restoration and Repairs:
Use to repair and restore the sparkle to antique curios, lighting and Christmas decor.

What is German Glass Glitter?
Our top quality glass glitter, often referred to as "diamond dust", is manufactured in Germany by Sigmund Lindner the world's leading supplier of glitter and glass beads. The silver based colour coating and random shape provides for a high brilliance and a distinctive colour spectrum, setting itself aside from monochromatic plastic glitter. The colour coating has been further "sealed", making the glitter particles both waterproof and resistant to solvents.

Glitter in History:
Mankind has always been partial to a bit of "bling"!. There is evidence that naturally occurring mica was used in prehistoric times to adorn cave paintings and decorate Mayan Temples, whilst other minerals including green coper malachite, black lead galena and dark red iron oxide were used for decoration and personal adornment.

Many modern glitters are manufactured from precision cut coloured plastic. However, prior to WW2 glass glitters innovated and produced in Germany and generally known as diamante, provided Christmas sparkle and excitement to theatre and event decoration.
