Millefiori beaded necklace

Colorful beaded necklace made using a glass working technique known as millefiori from the Italian “thousand flowers”. 

The technique was most famously developed by skilled artisan of the Island of Murano near Venice. Clusters of cane glass, known as murrine, arranged in a pattern are fused, stretched and sliced into tiny rounds, which in cross section reveal the original multicoloured flower pattern. The finished design is viewable only from the cut ends of the cane that is cut into short lengths and the pieces are used to create colourful and unique jewellery or items such as vases and paperweights.

Please note: price is for one item from an assorted collection and colour may vary. We cannot guarantee which one you will receive
