They not reduce. Unlike Rubino, they do not turn livery when worked hot and long. They also don't react with silver glass and can be encased easily.

They are meant to be used with other glass – over white to get glorious pinks, as a core with silver glass (e.g., Clio, Hyperion) then encased and doesn't need a clear core and stays even and cranberry.

Here are my sample beads for RO670B. Large bead has the gold ruby as a core with Clio and encased.

Hayley those are beautiful beads! Thank you for sharing the info of the purpose of the DH rubies I never thought about using them with Clio or Hyperion.
