Venetian and Murano Glass Bead Facts

Venetian Beads: Venetian Beads are made by using glass canes or sticks made mostly from Moretti (effetre) in Murano Island. MuranoGlass is divided by many different kinds of glass. The most popular are 1)Transparent 2)Non Transparent 3) opaline 4) alabastro. Using this kind of glass and mixing them with gold foil or silver foil is possible to make almost all shape and decoration of the Venetian Beads. At first, theglass fromEffetre has to be prepared for the Beads to make and then it is possible to start. For each bead it is necessary to have different diameter sticks depending of the decorations or sizes to make. For the Venetian Beads this step is very important because on it depends onthe development of the whole Bead. There are many kinds of Venetian Beads decoration and each one has its own particularity but what is important in Venetian Bead makingis to use all your heart in order to make it. Venetian Glass can not be created as a normal kind of glass. It has to be loved and work with the best of one's feeling to be later called, VENETIAN BEADS.

Foil Beads: Foil Beads are Beads made by using many kinds of Foil. The most commons are Gold foil 24Kt, Sterling Silver Foil, and White Gold Foil, but it is also possible to use Platinum foil or other precious metal Foil. What is very important is the thickness of the gold. .Usually in Venezia is used 0.0032 or 0,0036 someone also uses 0,0028 but it is too thin for my opinion. The gold we use is 24Kt. Gold Foil 0.0040. We tried to use it thicker but the effect is like a wrapped candy and it is not so pleasant. To make them is necessary to make a little ball of glass according to the size to make and when it is still hot spread on it a layer of gold cut for the size to make. Press it in to the glass in a way that it sticks completely with the glass and then place on it another layer of glass to cover it completely. If it is no completely covered there is the possibility for gold to disappear in time. For a good Bead this is very important.

Sommerso : The Latin meaning of this word is, drowned. To make it, is necessary to crush a coloured glass in to very little pieces. Usually this glass is white and mixed with avventurina but, it is possible to use many other colours. To make it you can use the same system of Gold foil and change the Gold with this mixture. What is important is to keep this powder (fritta) colder than the glass to pour on it otherwise you can mix it together and the affect of
Sommerso disappear.

Fiorato: Fiorato means, with flower. This is one the most popular Venetian Beads, evenif now there are not so many Master Bead Makerable to to make it. This Bead requires allot of preparation.   At first is necessary to make the vette ( tiny sticks of glass) avventurina. This vettes have to be made in two ways one is ruond round and the other is flat. Than it is necessary to make the yellow vetta, the blue and white vetta and the white and ruby glass vetta. When everything is ready is possible to start. At first it has to made a desidered size glass ball around the copper wire. In the very center has to place the flat avventurina vetta???    Then both sides top and bottom must place the round avventurina vetta, in a waves like formation. After that in two centers of the bead has to be placed the two roses with the white and ruby glass vetta. Then the opposite sides have to beplaced a point of yellow vetta surround with five points of white and blue vetta in a way to make a flower. They are very difficult beads to make.

Avventurina : In Italian avventurina Means, Little adventure. This is a particular kind of glass made with many parts of coppers inside. It looks like moon stone. The colour is brown or blue ( once was also red and green but nowadays is very difficult to find them) and inside the glass you can see little parts of glittering copper that look like gold. The name is because it is an adventure to make it. That because it was and it is very difficult to make it. With this material is possible to make many many different variations of decorations. Only a little bit of this avventurina in the Bead and you can changes immediatly the result of your beads. It is also not easy to use it.

Mosaico:   Mosaico is much more known as millefiori which means , thousand flowers.   Millefiori is made by melting different colours of glass in a design up to another and than pulled in sticks of many diameter from 2 mm up to 20 25 mm. It is also possible to make them bigger. When this stick is made has to be cut in a small pieces and placed on the Bead to make. Also this is a very old system to work.

Venetian Beads
Murano Glass Beads or Venetian Glass Beads mean almost the same thing. There were always been a war between Venetians and Muranesi (people living in the island of Murano). People from Murano said that: we were making the glass and so it was possible for for to make Glass Beads. And Venetians said: we needed glass to make our Glass Beads and so you star to produce it . It is very difficult to know how was exactly even because there are not so many books talking about it.   How glass came to Venice is still a mystery.   What we know exactly is, that right now we produce the most beautiful glass with many colours and it is appreciated in all over the world.
