From the workshops of world-famous Murano Glass masters comes this stunning Charm Bead, which will become an instant highlight of any charm collection. This Murano Glass bead with its rich copper sparkles and multicolor confetti pattern set against the shimmer of .925 Sterling Silver leaf is as gorgeous and unique as Venice itself. The rare beauty of this charm bead is the result of centuries of Murano artisans' hard work re-inventing and perfecting the complex glass-making techniques and methods that hail from as far back as ancient Egypt. On Murano Island in the Venetian Lagoon, away from the hustle and bustle of tourism, the masters create these beautiful delicate beads one-by-one over open flame. The color and pattern is not painted but achieved by the use of different minerals, including real gold, mixed into hot glass. While labor-intensive, this process means that the gorgeous colors will not fade and the sparkles will never go dull. The classic elegance combined with contemporary style make this bead a top choice for any charm necklace or bracelet and a great gift to anyone who loves the Italian style, Murano artistry, and flexibility of creating jewelry from charm beads.
