Millefiori Wrap Bracelet

Double wrap bracelet of glass millefiori tube beads; light leather cording and knot slide to secure.
Wrap bracelets are fashioned in single, double and triple styles with the beading carefully “stitched” between the cording. The knot slide allows the bracelet to be tightened or loosened to fit a variety of sizes.
The term millefiori is a combination of the words “mille” (thousand) and “fiori” (flowers). The millefiori technique involves the production of glass canes or rods, with multicolored patterns which are viewable only from the cut ends of the cane. The rods are heated in a furnace and pulled until thin while still maintaining the cross section’s design. It is then cut into beads or discs when cooled.
