A Thousand Flowers

CAD $275

Part of “Shattering the Glass Ceiling” Collection

At its heart are vibrant old and antique trade beads featuring intricate millefiori designs that trace their origins to the glassmaking traditions of Murano, Italy. Millefiori, meaning “a thousand flowers,” refers to the elaborate, colorful patterns created by layering and fusing glass canes, resulting in a kaleidoscope of vibrant motifs and symbolize the interconnectedness of cultures and the shared strength born of collaboration.

Complementing the millefiori beads is a striking antique large carved crystal bead, whose clear, luminous surfaces evoke clarity, brilliance, and the symbolic breaking of barriers.

Including recycled vintage glass beads from Java further emphasizes the collection’s commitment to sustainability and reinvention. By transforming materials with a past into a stunning new creation, this necklace celebrates empowerment and demonstrates the beauty of second chances and renewal.

The harmonious interplay between the colorful millefiori trade beads, the luminous antique crystal, and the recycled glass captures the essence of shattering societal limitations while honoring the beauty of tradition.
