Gold Foil Leopard Shells 25mm Red, Murano Glass Bead

Venetian Beads in a delightful combination of sea shell shapes and animal prints. These are call la crima which means the tear in Italian because the decoration looks like an elongated teardrop. Size is approximately 25mm and each side has the imprint like a real sea shell with a 1mm hole which runs through the middle of the shell. Transparent colors of Moretti glass over 24kt gold foil with small dashes of black/chocolate create these lovely beads. The exact shape/location of the chocolate splashes are completely random with no two exactly alike. The color of this one is dark red Murano Glass.
