Venetian Bead Zanfirico Disc 20mm Exterior Gold, Black

Authentic Venetian Bead incorporating 3 different techniques. The bead is in the form of a lentil or disc approximately 20mm diameter and slightly puffy about 13mm at the thickest part and an approximately 1mm diameter hole through the center of the bead. It is worked by applying millefiori slices which create the small flowers and then pieces of zanfirico cane and finally 24kt gold foil exterior. The exact placement and shape size of the zanfirico, Millefiori and 24kt gold foil is completely random and no two are ever alike. This bead has exterior gold foil and the gold foil will wear over time and with contact with other items. This is normal and is not a defect, rather part of the type bead. The color of this bead is an Opaque Nero (black).
