Zanfirico Millefiori Teardrop 23X14 Exterior Gold Foil Peridot

Venetian Bead incorporating 3 different techniques. The bead is in the form of a teardrop approximately 23mm in length and 13mm in diameter at the largest point. It is worked by applying millefiori slices which create the small flowers and then pieces of zanfirico cane and finally 24kt gold foil exterior. Like all beads with exterior gold foil, 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 exact size, shape and location of the millefiori and the zanfirico are completely random with no two ever exactly alike. The colors in this one are a base of transparent green (a soft green) Murano Glass with white zanfirico and yellow daisies.
