Venetian Glass Bead in a large disc approximately 30mm by 13mm thick with a 1mm hole. This bead incorporates many techniques, the fenicio of avventurina must first be pulled from chunks of avventurina. The slices of millefiori are carefully sliced and placed. The bead has a base of half black and half white Murano glass with slices of White Murrine (lace) set on either side of the waves of Avventurina. It is a time consuming bead but so worth the work. This size makes a great focal bead or pendant.
