millefiori whale tail pendant
My ex design student had asked me to check out http://www.gibbseducation.com/ since he was keen on the programs in visual communications, graphic design and fashion merchandising offer by the school. After a long chat, he told me that I should check out Millefiori. And if you like colours, patterns and contrasting tones, then you wouldn’t want to miss these awesome accessories crafted with Murano glass.
Millefiori is a type of Murano glass that has been incorporated with various layers of colors to create beautiful flower-like patterns. Millefiori, which literally means “a thousand flowers”, is the denomination of a type of cylindrical, long glass rod which contains a specific pattern along its entire length, so that when cut into slices from one end, the particular pattern will be revealed. It is completely handmade of authentic Murano glass. This style of glass has been around since the Middle Ages and more recently, have been produce for fine jewelry.
The above is a beautiful, red Millefiori whale tail pendant, hand set in a stylish Nickel-Free sterling silver frame. I know this will charm the hearts of sea lovers, divers and those who are friends of the ocean.
