Description
Gorgeous vintage 1960s, 1970s Italian hand fused Ercole Moretti Murano millefiore glass beaded necklace. At 29″ long it is very easy to wear, slip over head style. All handmade Ercole Moretti in bright red, blue, yellow, aqua, green, and white. The beads graduate from 7.9m to 20.6m in the center. Each bead is beautifully hand crafted and the colors are highly visible from a distance; a known characteristic of Ercole Moretti beads. The murrine pattern being separate and artistically placed on each bead along with the highly polished finish and opaque red color are also Moretti characteristics. You can feel the individual fusing of the beads with your fingernails so you that these are genuine Italian millefiore. Over the years the stringing has come apart. Other than this it is in excellent condition overall. All colors are still bright and vivid. No cracks or breaks. Never altered or repair. It came from an estate around 30 years ago and was kept in original, excellent condition all these years. Once it is restrung you will have a long stunning red Murano necklace for your vintage jewelry collection.
