Our colors of Venetian glass beads are presented in transparent colors of Murano Moretti glass over 24kt gold foil, sterling silver or White Gold Foil. Additionally the millefiori beads, aventurina (avventurina), sommerso and nuvola beads are made using the same transparent colors of Murano glass to produce Murano beads which are a little less expensive, but lovely colors and styles none-the-less. For a more sophisticated bead, try the Venetian beads with stripes or the splashes, bicolors or jewelled. They are all made with the same Murano glass, but with different uses of color and color combinations. Try mixing and matching the colors and shapes to give your Venetian jewelry a bit of your own personal design style. With our Murano beads, it's hard to go wrong!
