Inspiration/Story Behind This Product

The magatama is found also on early Korean royal gold crowns and has long been considered a sign of royalty in Korea as well as being a connection with Shamanistic elements.

Millefiori is decorative glass made by fusing multicolored glass canes together, cutting them crosswise, joining them into new groups, embedding the groups in transparent glass, and blowing the resultant mass into a desired shape.

The term millefiori is a combination of the Italian words "mille" (thousand) and "fiori" (flowers)
