This is a gorgeous vintage Italian Millefiori glass bead necklace with matching earrings. The necklace features vibrant multi-colored handmade Italian glass beads that are excellent examples of the Italian's skills. The bright and colorful beads are graduated from 7 - 15mm in a round shape. They are still shiny and perfectly smooth beads, knotted on red and yellow silk with small gold filigree bead caps in between. The clip on earrings have domed millefiori round pieces that match. The Italians are famous for making these beads and glass pieces by fusing colorful cane rods. Millefiori literally means 'thousand flowers', because the beads look like there are little flowers and hearts inside. The necklace has a traditional gold barrel screw closure and the earrings brass clips.
