Fantastic focal bead heart in the zanfirico style. Venetian Bead incorporating 3 different techniques. The bead is in the form of a heart approximately 35-38mm across by 32-33mm tall with hole vertical to make as a pendant about 1.5mm, it is worked by applying white gold over a clear base and adding millefiori slices which create the small flowers and then pieces of zanfirico cane. The entire bead is then enased in clear Murano Glass. This bead makes a lovely significant pendant for your jewelry. A single piece on a necklaceis all you need! The zanfirico is a cane made with multiple spirals of color inside which twisted complete the diamond like patterns shown here. No two are ever exactly alike and the exact size, shape and placememt of the millefiori & zanfirico are completely random. The colors in this one are a base of Bluino (blue)Murano Glass with white zanfirico and white daisies.
