Material & Construction
These premium beads are crafted from layered cane glass, also known as Murano glass, a technique perfected in Venice centuries ago. The multi-layered construction creates the distinctive chevron or rosetta pattern that defines this style. Each bead is individually formed and cooled to develop the vibrant color layers—a labor-intensive process that showcases true artisanal craftsmanship.

Colors & Design
The strand displays a rich color palette of cobalt blue on the exterior with white and terracotta red layered throughout. The zig-zag star pattern creates visual depth and movement, making each bead a miniature work of art. The careful arrangement of graduated sizes combined with dark spacer beads creates an elegant, balanced composition.

Condition
