'Pezzato' is a style of Italian glass beadmaking where pieces or 'pezzato' of 24 karat gold leaf and silver leaf are laid over a core bead then covered with a layer of clear glass for protection and brilliance. This bracelet is composed of the 'pezzato' beads blended with silver and gold leaf beads, gold wavy spacer beads, 24 karat gold filled tiny beads and faceted Black Onyx gemstones. Italian artisans create the Murano Glass beads by using molten glass and 24 karat gold leaf wrapped around a bead-forming mandrill and fired with a torch until the bead is complete. The beads are then cooled and fired a second time at low heat to set the glass and provide strength and durability. Each Murano glass bead is unique. The bracelet is finished with a gold-filled lobster clasp and a 1" gold filled extender chain. The bracelet measures approximately 7 inches plus the extender chain. Each piece of jewelry is created by hand in our Lapilus workshop in Northern California. The bracelet arrives in a pretty organza gift bag encased in a craft pillow style box - just add a ribbon and it's ready for gifting!
