Venetian Beads  A style of glass bead making originating in Venice in the late 1800s. Antique "fancy" Venetian Beads are rare and prized by collectors. Today, many types of beads made by hand in Murano and Venice are sold under this label. Generally the term denotes a very high level of craftsmanship and that the beads are made individually by hand.
