Murano glass beads have long been synonymous with the finest and most beautiful of handmade beads in the world. Using traditions and techniques that have been passed down over centuries, we work directly with artisan beadmakers to create designs that inspire jewelry makers everywhere. The common material in every one of our authentic Murano glass beads is the renown Effetre glass cane, famous for its color and quality. the beads are created using the lampwork technique – wrapping the molten glass around a wire. This creates the base layer, solid coloured, bead. Some glassmakers will also use the aventurine technique to create a glitter or sparkle effect in these base beads. Once the bead is created, decoration is then added to the outside of the wedding cake beads. Usually this will start with a base layer of aventurine glass – to create the stunning glitter or sparkle effect. This won’t be done if the aventurine is part of the base bead. The second layer of decoration is the “trailing pattern”. This is where narrow strands of molten glass are trailed, or wound onto the surface of the bead in elaborate zig-zags or swirls. The final layer to be added to the beads are the distinctive decorative flowers. Again these are done using narrow strands of molten glass. Of course not every glassmaker uses the same methods, or recipes, to create their wedding cake beads. One of the more common variations on the fiorato is known as dogaressa. In dogaressa the first layer of aventurine glass is not applied; instead a thin layer of gold or silver leaf is applied to the base bead. This creates a simpler finished design, but is also more fragile.
