Fiorato, which stems from Italian word fiore, or flower, is one of the most famous Murano glass-making techniques, allowing glass masters to create exquisite raised floral designs on the beads. First, the master creates the base of the bead, and then, holding the base under the flame, decorates it with exquisite roses, swirls, dots, and avventurina streaks by carefully applying thin threads of molten colored glass onto the surface of the bead. This process results in the beads of unparalleled beauty that represent distinctly Venetian classic style and bring instant highlight to necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and pendants. Fiorato Murano Glass Jewelry is feminine and exquisite, and every bead is unique, showcasing the mastery and imagination of Venetian artisans.
