  • These beads are priced and sold by the set of 3
  • Yet another variation on the Yellow/Lime and Clear theme (See JSD-306, JSD-318 and JSD-367) 
  • These are short, fat cylinders 12x12mm slight variations
  • Two rows of murrini are separated by a yellow band
  • These are part of a very small group of millefiori trade beads that use clear and translucent glass, allowing you to see into the murrini in 3 dimensions.
  • The tiny red star in the center of each slice increases my respect even more for the makers of these amazing little works of art.
  • Made in Venice, Italy for the African trade early 1900s
  • From the Collection of Joyce Diamanti, bead researcher, writer and educator
