Vintage Italian Millefiori Glass Bead Graduated 16" Necklace

This stunning vintage Venetian Millefiori necklace is an authentic example of mid-century Italian artistry, likely crafted by the renowned Moretti company in Murano circa the 1920s to 1960s. Measuring approximately 16 inches in length, the piece features a vibrant array of handcrafted "thousand flower" glass beads that graduate gracefully in size toward the centre. Each multicoloured bead is meticulously detailed with intricate floral canes and accented with decorative brass filigree caps to prevent chipping and add a touch of antique elegance. For added security and quality, the beads are individually hand-knotted on a durable cord and finished with a traditional, secure brass barrel screw clasp. This timeless costume piece showcases the unique, one-of-a-kind nature of artisan glasswork, making it a sophisticated addition to any vintage jewellery collection. In good condition, no breaks or faults.
