Persimmon Strike is like a more intense version of Tequila Sunrise. Its color range includes ruby, purple, yellow, green, and blue tones. These colors appear and shift during the working process. The thickness of your application affects the final look. The longer the heat exposure, the more the ruby and purple tones fade.

The color surprises with its unique transitions. You’ll find pinks, oranges, and yellows reminiscent of ripe persimmon. Touches of green and blue add a beautiful balance. To capture the full range, heat carefully and with precision.

Work the color white-hot to reset any previous strike history. This technique opens the door to fresh visual effects. Persimmon Strike adapts well to many styles and methods.

To preserve the desired look, do a quick anneal at 554 °C (1030 °F). If you prefer a kiln-struck finish, limit the hold time to avoid further color shifts.

This rod is made for passionate artists. It combines versatility with bold beauty. Its shifting tones turn each piece into a vibrant spectacle.
