Description
- These beads are priced and sold by the pair
- As a designer who was always looking for matched sets myself, I like to keep a few pairs together for those who might be looking. These are particularly lovely green chevron canes with white and brick red, flawless beads, 48x12mm
- Don't need two? Consider ways to share, trade or sell one.
- Trade beads almost always have holes big enough for 2mm leather cords
- Millefiori, the Italian name for these colorful beads, means 1000 flowers
- The beads are decorated with slices of glass canes created either bundling very thin glass tubes together to form the pattern, then fusing them, or encasing round or chevron pattern canes in concentric layers of different colored glass.
- The canes are sliced into murrini, which are laid out on a hot surface and the semi-molten glass cores of the beads are rolled over them, picking up the slices.
- Made in Venice, Italy for the African trade mid-1800 to late 1800s
