A 38-inch strand of colorful Venetian millefiori trade beads, showcasing the intricate patterns and vibrant glasswork for which Venetian beadmakers are renowned. Each bead features distinctive mosaic-like designs created by layering and fusing colorful glass canes, resulting in beautiful floral and geometric patterns.
Produced in Venice, Italy, these beads were widely traded across Africa and other parts of the world, where they became valued both for their beauty and as important trade commodities. This substantial 38-inch strand highlights the craftsmanship of Venetian glass artisans and the fascinating history of global trade and cultural exchange.
This strand is not intended to be a ready-to-wear necklace. Although the strand can be worn "as is," the string holding it together is not durable and may break with use. For this reason, we recommend that you restring the beads before wearing them.
Strand Length: 38 Inches. (including sting/raffia)
Bead Size: 11-14 mm in diameter. See photo with penny for size comparison (US penny is 19mm).
