The craft of the component
Founded in Murano in 1994, Gli Ori di Venezia pairs artisan savoir-faire with an industrial process, developing entire collections of Murano glass beads alongside the fashion maisons and goldsmith brands. Over the decades we have extended our international presence at the sector's most important trade fairs worldwide.
Every bead is born at the torch: molten glass on a steel mandrel, turned and shaped by hand until the form is right. The same gesture our masters have repeated since 1994, bead after bead.
“Colour is not applied: it is sealed in the glass, and it stays.”
The bead is a world
Millefiori and gold leaf, up close · in colour
Millefiori, gold leaf, custom work
Thousands of one-of-a-kind pieces, from a single piece to a million. Continuous supply, agreed tolerances and finishes: from approved sample to recurring delivery, with no drift in colour or gauge.
Polychrome canes sliced and sunk into the glass. Every flower is a cross-section of cane, and no two are ever identical.
Pure gold or silver leaf sealed inside the glass during lampworking. It is the soul of the bead, and you cannot see it until you look closely.
Colours, sizes and finishes developed against your collection, from sample through to recurring supply.

Consistency is a craft
An artisan workshop with an industrial process: the old techniques of the Murano glass masters, combined with modern production tooling. That meeting point is what makes consistent supply possible in a product that stays handmade.
Every supply run is checked piece by piece before it ships: gauge, colour, finish. That is how a handmade component enters an industrial supply chain without surprises.
Every single bead has to represent the excellence the name is known for. Delivery after delivery.
