Absolutely Beautiful Handmade Italian Millefiori Glass Bead Pendant
Fantastic for making jewellery or on their own as a necklace.....let your imagination go wild

The loose term ‘millefiori’ (a thousand flowers) covers any repeating radially symmetrical (hence flower-like) motif made with mosaic glass. It does not have to be flowers, and could have been called “millecalamari” if Venetian glassmakers who coined the term had been more fond of squid.


The basic beads are mostly rod-formed, wound, and have applied cane section of one or more kinds. The simple concentric patterns without stripes were produced at various times, while patterns with radiating stripes only became really common some time into the Roman period.”
