Venetian glass beads are some of the most beautiful beads in the world. It’s been so exciting to work with such unusual and highly stylish glass beads—it’s fired up my creative juices. While the pictures below will give you a sense of the overall design of each necklace, they just can’t capture the gorgeous colors and the beauty of these incredible beads.
Venetian beads begin with Effetre Moretti™ glass canes, which are produced on the island of Murano, Italy, a small island in the Venetian Lagoon, renowned since 1292 as the preeminent center for glass blowing. Each Murano bead is lovingly handmade one by one by bead makers sitting behind a torch with a mandrel in one hand and a cane of glass in the other. The Venetian maestros are known for their innovation and technical mastery throughout the art glass world.
Each necklace can be made longer or shorter to fit your needs. Just let me know the length you want and I will let you know the cost.
