Red Millefiore Nugget Glass Bead (8mmX12mm)

Description

Red Millefiori Glass Beads

These red millefiori glass beads feature the traditional floral patterns that made Murano famous. Each bead is hand-crafted using century-old techniques where coloured glass rods are fused together and sliced to reveal intricate designs. The irregular nugget shape gives each bead a natural, organic look with slight variations in size and pattern.

• Length: approximately 12mm (irregular shape)
• Width: approximately 8mm (irregular shape)
• Hole size: 1.5mm
• Quantity: 1 bead
• Material: millefiori nugget beads with glass fusion technique
• Colour: red base with multicoloured floral patterns

The 12mm length works well for statement earrings, focal beads in bracelets, or spacing beads in longer necklaces. You can pair these italian glass beads with sterling silver or gold-filled findings for a classic look, or mix them with gemstone beads for colour contrast. The 1.5mm hole accepts most beading wire, leather cord up to 1mm thick, and elastic cord.

String these on 0.45mm to 0.6mm beading wire for bracelets and necklaces. The glass surface is smooth but the edges may have slight irregularities from the hand-made process. Store them separately from softer beads to prevent scratching. These murano style beads suit both European-style jewellery and contemporary designs where you want a handcrafted feature.
