1 Murano White Core Goldfoiled Turquoise Amethyst Embossed Heart looks like a heart within a heart the white core type of bead has been made in Venice for hundreds and hundreds of years and once the white base is established it is wrapped with goldfoil which is then cased with clear glass mixed with colours in this case a combination of lovely turquoise and amethyst. The hole is in the middle top to bottom. Measures approx. 29x35x14mm. Gorgeous.

The glass core of the bead is wrapped with 12K White gold foil which is then encased in glass and shaped to the finished size, in some cases the gold is exposed.

These beads (also known as Venetian Glass) are handmade on the island of Murano within the Venetian lagoon in Italy. The murano glass artisans are regarded worldwide as the masters of their art.

We source the beads direct from the makers so you can be confident all of our beads are genuine Murano glass.
