Product code: Authentic Venetian Fiorato store Murano “Wedding Cake” Glass Bead Necklace, RARE
Featuring 14mm Antique Fiorato Handmade Italian Beads from end to end (not graduated), the Fiorato (flower) beads are authentic Venetian; also known as "wedding cake beads". The glass is mostly pastel colored, blue, pink, white, and gold. These lamp worked, round beads were made one-by-one under the flame. The glass maker starts with a Murano glass cane (or rod) to make the base color, and then adds an Aventurina (copper filings), band around the center of the bead. Next the glass store artisan uses a pink, and a white cane to melt under the flame to make the roses. Next the "forget me knots" with blue and yellow are added to the bead. Each bead is accented with original glass seed beads and bead caps. No chips or scratches on any bead! The necklace measures 17”, no Maker's Mark, with original screw barrel clasp. Beautiful heirloom piece to love, wear, and pass on. Please see photos for details, scale and as part of the description. Please click my shop for more Designs & Finds!!.
