Description

This combination of brilliant blue barrel-shaped Venetian glass beads and sterling silver accent beads and wire is evocative of this necklace's Mediterranean origins. This Venetian Perle necklace was created by an artisan on the island of Murano in Venice - centuries old tradition of glass perle infused with silver, gold or copper for luminescence. So valued, these perle were once used as currency in international trading.  16" long with lobster claw clasp.
