Shangri-La, Handcrafted Red Coral Jewelry Set with Carved Horn Bone, Jasper and Millefiori Glass Beads
Millefiori is a glasswork technique which produces distinctive decorative patterns on glassware. The term millefiori is a combination of the Italian words "mille" (thousand) and "fiori" (flowers). More recently, the millefiori technique has been applied to polymer clays and other materials. Because polymer clay is quite pliable and does not need to be heated and reheated to fuse it, it is much easier to produce millefiori patterns than with glass. The manufacture of mosaic beads can be traced to Ancient Roman, Phoenician and Alexandrian times. Canes, probably made in Italy, have been found as far away as 8th century archaeological sites in Ireland and millefiori was used in thin slices to brilliant effect in the early 7th century Anglo-Saxon jewelry from Sutton Hoo.
