Inspired by the movement and mystery of the Venetian lagoon, this authentic Murano Glass Heart Bead features our distinctive Mare design, named after the Italian word for "sea." Handcrafted in Murano, Italy, the bead showcases dramatic swirls of rich red and deep black glass that flow together like ocean currents and rolling waves.
Each heart is individually lampworked by Murano artisans using traditional glassmaking techniques passed down through generations. The swirling patterns create a sense of motion and depth, making every bead a unique miniature work of art. No two are exactly alike, ensuring that your jewelry designs possess genuine Venetian character and authenticity.
Measuring approximately 14mm x 14mm and 8mm thick, this heart bead includes a 1mm vertical hole running from top to bottom, making it ideal for earrings, bracelets, necklaces, charm jewelry, and romantic themed designs.
Whether incorporated into a contemporary jewelry piece or collected as a small example of Murano artistry, this bead captures the beauty of the sea and the centuries-old traditions of Venetian glassmaking.
Handmade in Murano, Italy.
