For centuries, Venice has been renowned for the wonderful quality of the glass produced there. Artisans fleeing the Crusades and, later, the Ottoman expansions often settled in the territories of the wealthy, trade-friendly Venetian Republic. There, inspired by the beautiful scenery of the Adriatic coastline, they established a thriving industry creating beautiful, colorful glass that was - and is - appreciated around the world. You can have a piece of this colorful history with this multicolored Venetian glass bead bracelet. An elegant silver bracelet is decorated with a cluster of fine, brightly colored Venetian glass beads.
