{"product_id":"cosmowhirl-orb-complete-set","title":"CosmoWhirl Orb — All Six Visual Styles in One Complete Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eCosmoWhirl Orb is a flame-worked borosilicate glass piece built around a genuine opal center. Using Czech-made SIMAX glass, silver-and-gold fuming, and step-by-step color layering, each orb forms its own inner spiral, depth, and light — like a tiny universe held in glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach orb is made to order, one at a time, never batch produced. A finished piece can take around two weeks, often with 30–50 failed attempts behind the one that makes the cut. After shaping, it is annealed, checked under different lighting conditions, and released only when clarity, balance, and presence fully come together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; font-family: 'Maven Pro',sans-serif; color: #1c1c1ce6; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0 0 0; display: inline-block;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e▾\u003c\/span\u003eBehind the Piece\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"74\" data-end=\"283\"\u003eCosmoWhirl is built around a quiet pull: the feeling of looking into something small and finding more depth than you expected. The inner spiral feels alive, yet fully contained — a tiny universe you can return to with your eyes, your hand, or your attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"285\" data-end=\"567\"\u003eIt is made for people who do not want ordinary jewelry or decor. Wear it close, place it on a desk, or give it to someone who loves space, light, and objects with real presence. However it is kept, the point is the same: it is meant to be looked into, not just looked at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; font-family: 'Maven Pro',sans-serif; color: #1c1c1ce6; line-height: 20px; margin: 6px 0 0 0; display: inline-block;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e▾\u003c\/span\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Technique\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"78\" data-end=\"349\"\u003eEach orb begins with Czech-made SIMAX borosilicate glass, chosen for its stability under flame. At the center sits a genuine opal, while silver-and-gold fuming and step-by-step color layering build the shifting field of light, depth, and cosmic movement inside the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"351\" data-end=\"724\"\u003eThe piece is shaped in a high-temperature flame fueled by propane and oxygen, reaching around 2000°C. In that heat, the glass is repeatedly heated, turned, and refined by hand. The inner color is not added all at once or left to chance—different colors and effects are introduced gradually, allowing cleaner transitions, deeper layers, and a more controlled final result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; font-family: 'Maven Pro',sans-serif; color: #1c1c1ce6; line-height: 20px; margin: 6px 0 0 0; display: inline-block;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e▾\u003c\/span\u003eAfter the Flame\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"66\" data-end=\"287\"\u003eThe work is not finished when it leaves the flame. Each piece is placed into an electric kiln for annealing, where internal stress is released and the color field continues to settle, open up, and come together over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"289\" data-end=\"587\"\u003eEach piece is then checked under different lighting conditions. We look for an orb that holds its depth in softer natural light and still feels striking under stronger warm indoor light — where the inner structure reads clearly, the color layers stay alive, and the overall balance feels complete. Not every orb reaches that point. Only the ones that do are released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; font-family: 'Maven Pro',sans-serif; color: #1c1c1ce6; line-height: 20px; margin: 6px 0 0 0; display: inline-block;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e▾\u003c\/span\u003eMaker \u0026amp; Origin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlen Wang\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"89\" data-end=\"554\"\u003eGlen Wang is one of the founding artisans behind FolkMake and the maker of the CosmoWhirl Orb. He has spent more than a decade working with flame-shaped glass, and since 2017 he has focused deeply on universe-inspired glass pieces — refining the layered depth, optical balance, and inner movement that define this series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"556\" data-end=\"1031\"\u003eEach CosmoWhirl Orb is completed 100% by hand, from flame work to final inspection. Glen’s patented methods and long experience help guide the process, but every finished orb still depends on heat, timing, hand control, and repeated attempts. It leaves FolkMake only when the inner world feels clear, balanced, and alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin: China\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"FolkMake","offers":[{"title":"Display Orb Set","offer_id":45735684931631,"sku":"CODOS","price":1599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Necklace Set","offer_id":45735685161007,"sku":"CONS","price":1399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bracelet Set","offer_id":45735685390383,"sku":"COBS","price":1399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0720\/0525\/5215\/files\/folkmake_orb_packaging_white_1000px.webp?v=1784708213","url":"https:\/\/folkmake.com\/products\/cosmowhirl-orb-complete-set","provider":"folkmake","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
