The perfect marriage of art and jewelry

Here comes the bead... The Murano Fiorato Nuziale Verde Necklace celebrates the ultimate Italian art form of wedding cake beads

Near Venice is Murano Island, home of the finest glassmakers in the entire world. For over 700 years, master craftsman have created hand-formed glass of such beauty and technique, it’s surpassed historical into legendary. Our latest collection is created on the legendary Island using an ancient technique known as fiorato, which stems from the Italian word fiore, or flowered. Expertly crafted under flame, this highly-specialized art form allows the glass masters to create exquisite raised floral designs, resulting in beads of unparalleled beauty. 

Many refer to these intricate works of art as “wedding cake beads” as it’s an apt description for these fanciful beads, with their “icing” of frills and flowers, as well as their resemblance to bridal bouquets with concentric rows of colored flowers. We think it’s a befitting name as they are the perfect marriage of art and style.
