At Venezia Beads we offer all the classic Venetian styles as well as new beautiful beads designed by glass bead artist Kimberley Rosaleen Osibin. Infusing traditional Venetian glass bead craftsmanship with American ingenuity and techniques to create a completely new line of beads. Here you will find all the styles of Venetian glass beads you have come to know: 24-karat gold leaf, sterling silver foil, Millefiori, sommerso, fiorato, and more. We work directly with Venetian glass bead factories and artists to bring you a fabulous selection of these stunning beads.
Kimberley Rosaleen Osibin has been traveling to Venice and Murano for the past four years working with the glass artists of Murano and teaching her class "Special Techniques in Glass Beadmaking" to American, Japanese and Italian glass beadmakers. Through her connections in Venice she began working with the number one factory selling beads to the U.S. Together they bring you Venezia Beads.
We work directly with the artists and bead factories on Murano to bring you an ever-growing selection of Venetian glass beads. Each summer we shop the Italian Gift Show in Milan to find the newest bead designs to bring to the U.S. market. We will be adding new beads to the web site and catalog each month in order to bring you the grandest selection of Venetian glass beads possible!
Because we work directly with the factory, if there is anything you desire that you do not find here, please do not hesitate to tell us. Most likely we can produce exactly what you need.
Venezia Beads strives to bring you beautiful beads at affordable prices. We offer retail and wholesale pricing with secure online shopping. No order is too big or too small.
