Venetian/Murano Millefiori Art Jewelry

The most famous Venetian/Murano beads are the Millefiori, which translated from Italian means "thousand flowers". Each bead is handmade under the flame using the world famous Murano glass canes or rods. After two thousand years the same technique is used by the Master artisans. 

The Master artisans patiently assemble numerous Venetian/Murano glass beads, which are then fused in the furnace, to recreate amazing colors, patterns and transparent clarities of the ancient workmanship. 


Below are a few examples of Millefiori pendants that can be viewed and purchased on my website DeVigniDesigns.
