Antique Venetian Millefiori Beads, Lapis Lazuli Blue Beads, and Ethnic Bell Earrings

These earrings are crafted by connecting antique Venetian millefiori beads, lapis lazuli blue beads, and ethnic bells. The beads, adorned with an "eye" motif, are antique beads from Venice known as millefiori. Millefiori were produced as trade items for Africa, with various patterns, colors, sizes, and shapes created according to the preferences of different ethnic groups. They are what are known as trade beads. The eye motif, while appearing black at first glance, is a deep, rich lapis lazuli blue. As these are old items, signs of wear may be visible. The size and pattern of each bead may vary slightly between the left and right earrings. (Elbow bead size: 1.1cm length, 0.75cm diameter) Tiny blue beads are nestled above and below the millefiori beads. These are also antique Venetian beads. The lapis lazuli blue beads, like the millefiori beads, are antique Venetian beads. When held up to the light, their deep hue reveals an even more captivating expression. The small bells are components from the Kuchi tribe of Afghanistan, originally part of decorative items, and are also vintage. The bells do not produce a sound. These earrings showcase the chic color palette of millefiori beads.
