Murano Glass Aventurine Bead Bracelet
This is a vintage-style beaded bracelet featuring approximately thirteen round, hand-blown Murano glass beads. Each bead showcases a clear glass exterior with an internal infusion of 'aveturnina' (gold-stone) copper flecks and subtle green undertones, creating a sparkling, multi-dimensional effect characteristic of Venetian lampwork. The beads are approximately 8-10mm in diameter and are separated by small, cream-colored spacer beads, likely glass or plastic. The construction utilizes a cord or wire finished with an antiqued brass or bronze-tone lobster claw clasp and jump ring. The metal components show moderate patina and oxidation, suggesting an age likely from the mid-to-late 20th century. The hand-crafted nature of the beads is evident in the slight variations in internal foil distribution and shape. Condition appears fair to good; while the glass beads remain intact without visible cracks or chips, there is notable discoloration and darkening on the metal findings and clasp, consistent with regular use and environmental exposure. The overall craftsmanship reflects the traditional Italian art of glassmaking, though the modern clasp suggests a later assembly or repair.
