Venetian glass beads and Murano glass beads made using .925 sterling silver foil submerged beneath the translucent luscious colors of Moretti glass. The silver brightens the colors providing a brighter effect than white gold. Each bead made by hand over an open flame (lampwork) so size and exact shape varies. Our silver foil bead line is our most popular, but don't be afraid to mix and match these with our other foil beads for a interesting look.
