This is a beautiful Strand of Yellow and Green African Millefiori , Mosaic or Trade Beads. Millefiori literally means "a thousand flowers". These beads originated in Venice, were traded with the African's and then imported to the United States in the 1960's. The process is two step, first the murrine or cane is made and then these are applied to a molten wound glass core and made into beads. Millefiori's can result in a variety of colors and designs. These beads if not referred to by mosaics, they are all called trade beads. These beads are fabulous used in jewelry, necklaces and bracelets, or just worn as a simple strand
like this around your neck.
