In Italian the word 'mille' means thousand and 'fiori' means flowers. Millefiori!

Millefiori jewellery therefore, contains a thousand flowers. Venetian glassmakers will be able to tell you that the Millefiori technique is a painstaking and intensive process, and each item of exquisite Millefiori jewellery is individually made. Any jewellery made using the Millefiori technique will always contain flowers and have a very distinct pattern.

What is Millefiori?

The Venetian glassmakers will be able to tell you that the Millefiori technique is a painstaking and intensive process, and each Millefiori item is individually made. It involves the production of glass canes which are filled with multicoloured patterns which are only viewable from the cut ends of the cane. Thin slices of this "cane" of glass can be cut and used to decorate beads and jewellery such as Millefiori rings and pendants. The manufacture of Millefiori jewellery for decoration can be traced back to Ancient Rome, Phoenician and Alexandrine times. The Millefiori technique was taken up and used in rings again in the 15th Century in Murano, Italy. Now you can wear this unique artwork in a piece of your own jewellery designed for the 21st Century.
