Silver and gold foil have been fused to create the beautiful and high quality, genuine Murano focal bead. The black background peeks out between some of the fissures in the foils, and all are covered with a clear glass to protect it. It's a testament to the Italian artisans who have perfected their art in the focal bead.

This piece has a light feeling to it, with mauve-purpley seed beeds and two different sized square clear glass beads completing this beautiful piece. Gold coloured Accuflex has been used, giving the clear squares a hint of gold at their centre. It is a geometric piece, with the circles and squares complementing each other. It's a great gift idea for a math whiz or geometry geek.

When you buy online it is hard to know if the products are what the seller claims. My aim is to offer high quality products and for my descriptions to be accurate. I only buy Italian glass beads from places I trust to give me real Italian glass beads. The Murano glass beads I have used in this necklace are genuine Italian glass sourced in New Zealand from Dream of Italy (NZ). This is what Dream of Italy (NZ) says about their products: "In this age of cheap imitations and poor quality, you can shop at Dream of Italy (NZ) with total confidence! You will be purchasing an authentic quality item that we have personally sourced from our trusted suppliers in Italy."

The necklace is on an adjustable chain with a lobster clasp, measuring 21.5 cm (approximately 8 ½ inches) to 24 cm (approximately 9 ½ inches) long.
