Vibrant Red Murano Glass "Exposed Gold" 20mm Squares, Venetian Bead Necklace, with 24 Karat Gold online Foil, Handmade Italian Beads, 20-22 Inches
Vibrant Murano Red "Exposed Gold", Square, Venetian Bead Necklace, with 24 Karat Gold Foil.
Necklace has Red, 20 mm Square beads with 24 karat gold foil inside. Each of the square beads is a Vintage, handmade bead, made one-by-one under the flame in Venice, Italy and therefore, are called "lamp worked beads".
The length of the necklace is 20 Inches, 50.8 cm., adjustable to approximately 22 inches, 55.88 cm. online
I restrung the necklace, and strung the old beads on accu-flex, which is a professional quality, beading wire, with 49 tiny strands, that have the softest drape and is virtually impossible to break.
I added a large, gold filled lobster style spring clasp, and adjustable gold filled link chain.
The red necklace is accented with 10 mm round red beads, red seed beads, and gold metallic Italian bead caps.
A great looking necklace for just a small amount of money, when you think about the work involved in each handmade Murano Glass, Venetian bead.
I have been in business designing jewelry, importing Murano / Venetian Glass and working with glass artisans, since 1976. I have visited the old, dusty "back rooms" of many, many of my bead makers in Venice and Murano, Italy. Because of that, I have thousands of old, Vintage Murano glass and Venetian loose beads, in my stock room, that I am putting into jewelry designs.
