Yellow 14mm Fiorato

Yellow, Murano Glass, 14 mm Round, Fiorato, (Wedding Cake), Venetian Glass Beads.   

The beads were made one by one, under the flame, and are called "lamp worked beads".  

Fiorato beads have swirls of aventurina (copper filings), pink roses on one side, and blue and yellow "forget-me-not flowers" on the opposite side.

We started with Fiorato beads and necklaces, back in 1976, when we helped to start the "bead revolution", in the USA.  

Every time we showed our fiorato necklaces at trade shows, they would sell out.
