1 Murano 20 x 14 x 8 mm Opaque Light Amethyst 24kt Gold Drop cased with clear glass - hole top to bottom, these would make nice earrings. Very pretty bead in striking colour combination.

The glass core of the bead is wrapped with 24K 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.

We recommend the use of a diamond file to smooth any sharp edges.
