Vintage Crow Beads

Step back in time with these exquisite Vintage Venetian Crow Beads, handcrafted by the master glass artisans of Murano between the late 1800s and early 1900s. Each bead tells the story of old-world craftsmanship — shaped in open-flame furnaces, cooled on wooden molds, and polished to a soft luster that only a century of history can bring.

Originally traded across continents, these large-hole glass beads were prized for their brilliant color and versatility, adorning garments, regalia, and jewelry worldwide. No two are ever quite alike — subtle variations in color, shape, and size are part of their charm, a reminder of the handwork that defines true Venetian glass.

Due to their age, many of these beads were once strung but have since been rebagged; you may find bits of original stringing material included as a mark of authenticity.
