Default Rod Suggestion For Raised Silver Dots?

Hello: I'm Deb. A kind of Newbie from Rhode Island. I work with soft glass and am wondering which rod is suggested for silver dots. Like the color of tinsel on a Christmas tree or that of bright shiny sterling silver beads. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers. Deb

Thanks again everyone.

Jaci .. CT. That's great! We are neighbors sort of. I'm heading to the Marlborough show today. Hoping to get some good deals on silver. Looking forward to my ribbons!

Hi Deb,

there's also a Reichenbach glass called Lead Crystal R-100 it's COE 96 and makes the most awesome silver dots.
