For over 100 years, artisans have been producing vases, sculptures, and jewelry using Murano glass. Like past generations, craftsmen today produce glass beads using an open flame. They use only authentic Murano glass to ensure the best results. The complex process requires the artisan to add various materials to the glass to create the bright blue or pretty pink coloration. These Venetian styled beads are lined with an inner layer of 24K yellow gold for added depth. Each necklace features three larger beads of mixed colors, four smaller beads of either blue or pink, and then a number of assorted complementary beads to complete the strand. Each is 18" with a 1" extender. Secured with lobster clasp. These necklaces afford the opportunity to showcase a mix of Venetian history and art around your neck.
