Vintage Handmade Blue Frosted Italian Murano Glass Bead & Flower Necklace – Green Leaves

This necklace is a tribute to the celebrated Murano glassmaking tradition that has flourished on the Venetian island of Murano since the 13th century. Each bead is individually crafted by skilled artisans using techniques passed down through generations. The frosted glass finish, reminiscent of sea glass, became particularly popular in mid-20th century designs, evoking a dreamy, romantic aesthetic. The combination of delicate blue flowers and green foliage captures a naturalistic style popular in 1950s and 1960s Italian jewelry. This piece likely originated from a small Venetian workshop where such intricate handmade necklaces were created for export to boutique shops across Europe and the U.S., making it not only a piece of jewelry, but a small chapter of art history.
