Venetian beads are intended to dazzle the eye and are often lavishly decorated - making them unlike any other beads in the world. Each bead we offer is handmade using vibrant colors that glimmer beneath 24kt gold or .999 silver foil, while others have gold leaf applied directly to the surface. There are also beads with aventurine, a special glass paste composed with copper flakes, or plain glass beads enhanced with a trail of molten glass in a second color dribbled across its surface. It is almost impossible to describe all the different types of Venetian beads, but one thing is for sure, Venetian beads are truly spectacular! |
| We are direct importers and have journeyed to Venice and Murano to meet with each company to personally select our beads. As you visit our web site, know that we designed many of the styles you see and each one of our beads was handpicked for quality, design, and color. Our beads are not imitations and are made by hand by the finest bead makers in Venice and Murano using secret glass recipes and traditional techniques passed down from generation to generation. |
