Description from the seller

General, number of beads, origin
This necklace is composed of 13 Millefiori beads of the 'mosaic' type, featuring a star motif. All are antique beads, made in Murano, near Venice, around 1920. The beads have a beautiful and rare color pattern.

Between the beads, 26 small beads in a similar color, also made of glass, have been placed. At the beginning and end of the string, two small green chevron beads are positioned (4 layers). These are also valuable beads!

The quality of the beads is very good.

Weight and height
Chain: 130 grams; length of the chain 51 cm.
The beads measure approximately 30 x 13 mm.

We bought these beads in Ghana.

Minimum price
The minimum price of this necklace is €115.

PHOTO: We have added a photo of a 'steel card' from approximately 1920 - 1940, showing an overview of mosaic beads. The lion logo probably relates more to the logo of the city of Venice than to a bead manufacturer.

Shipping
The necklace is well packaged and insured, sent via Post NL, with the usual Track & Trace service.
