"The technique of fusing together small colored fragments of glass dates all the way back to Ancient Egypt and Rome. After the fall of Rome, having been lost for centuries, this intricate technique was reinvented by Murano glass masters in the 15th century, and given new life and worldwide fame. While this technique is called "Murrine" on Murano island, outside of Venice it was dubbed "Millefiori", or "a thousand flowers" for its resemblance to a blossoming meadow. "This hangs from a fine sterling vermeil 18" chain with a spring ring clasp. The total weight of the sterling and glass is *6.62 grams. Condition is consistent with being previously worn.
