Gorgeous Vintage Italian Millefiore Murano Beads Long Necklace
So beautiful and so cheerful, a festival of bright colored star-bust shapes in all colors of the rainbow. Large elongated oval beads alternate with small round ones. All beads are hand made in Murano, Italy and date from the 1960s. These beads are called "milliefiore" which means "a thousand flowers". Very appropriate, isn't it?
Large beads measure 1" by 3/8" at the center on average. As each is hand made there is a slight variation. The small round ones are approximately 1/4" in diameter.
Overall length of the necklace is 36" . It has just been re-strung on silk like cord and is knotted in between each bead. There is no clasp but a pearl shortner is provided so it can be easily worn as a double strand.
In excellent vintage condition, Murano Jewelry is always beautiful and colorful like a sunny day by the Mediterranean Sea!
