Millefiori is a type of Italian glass that uses various layers of color to create beautiful flower-like patterns. The Murrina are cylindrical glass rods that contain a specific pattern along their entire length. They are cut into slices and combined to create the floral patterns you see in the jewelry, then the glass is fused together. They are completely handmade of authentic Murano glass.

Millacreli Heart Pendant

Glass manufacturing grew during the time of the Roman Empire and spread from Italy to all countries under Roman jurisdiction. In the Venetian Republic, glass craftsmanship flourished. In 1291, fearing fire and destruction to the city's wooden buildings, the glass makers were ordered to move their foundries out of Venice and onto the island of Murano. For centuries, the glass makers of Murano have held the monopoly on quality glass making.
