About Murano Glass Beads

Murano glass beads are specially handcrafted by the skilled artisans of the Venetian Island of Murano, shaping glass into intricate and beautiful jewellery parts. Unrivalled in their expertise and privy to the most sought-after techniques of glasswork, Murano artisans have led Europe for centuries.

Mono-coloured Murano glass beads pride themselves in the vivid radiance of its rich shade, internally layered with lustrous gold or silver foils. Others engage in the creation of multicoloured glass, producing countless variations of unique designs fused with many deep, intensive colours. Millefiori, in particular, meaning ‘a thousand flowers’ in Italian, holds true to its name through its bewitching patterns of prismatic blooming flowers.

These Murano beads provide a gorgeous foundation for Maya Kei’s distinctive earrings, pendants, necklaces and bracelets, which are bound to dazzle anyone with their unmatched artistic expression.
