Inspired by the deep waters of the Venetian Lagoon and the Adriatic Sea, this authentic Murano Glass Heart Bead showcases our distinctive Mare design, named after the Italian word for "sea." Handcrafted in Murano, Italy, the bead features dramatic swirls of rich cobalt blue glass accented with sparkling avventurina, creating the appearance of moonlight and sunlight reflecting on rolling ocean waves.
The flowing patterns evoke the movement of water, while the shimmering avventurina adds depth, brilliance, and unmistakable Venetian character. Each bead is individually lampworked by Murano artisans using traditional glassmaking techniques that have been passed down through generations. Because each bead is handmade, no two are exactly alike.
Measuring approximately 14mm x 14mm and 8mm thick, this heart bead features a 1mm vertical hole running from top to bottom. Its versatile size makes it ideal for earrings, bracelets, necklaces, charm jewelry, and nautical-inspired designs.
A beautiful example of authentic Murano craftsmanship, this heart combines centuries of Venetian artistry with a design inspired by the sea that surrounds Venice.
Handmade in Murano, Italy.
