Millefiore Glass Bead Necklace

Item Number: 203
Time Left: CLOSED

Description
A lovely and colorful single-strand necklace of millefiore glass beads. Colors range from white to orange to reds and blues, lending a festive and candy-like feel to this jewelry. Millefiore is a technique that involves the production of glass canes or rods, known as murrine, with multicolored patterns that are viewable only from the cut ends of the cane. A murrine rod is heated in a furnace, pulled until thin while still maintaining the cross section's design, and then cut into beads or discs when cooled. This necklace is 24" in length.
