Venetian Glass and 9ct Gold earrings, the glass hand-blown in the late 1800s, the clean elegance of the hand-worked Gold of the earrings modern Sydney.
Venice in the 1800s was a major producer of glassware of all sorts, and part of that production was a great variety of hand-blown glass beads, from the so-called “Venetian Trade Beads” produced so copiously for African trade of that period, often quite rough but always colourful, to highly sophisticated beads like the above pair.
Venetian Glass beads of the above type are now increasingly difficult to source, and increasingly costly.
