Millefiori Beads
Cane-pattern millefiori glass beads — chevron striped drums, mixed-colour lampwork strands and flat round spacers, with listing figures on record.
Millefiori ('a thousand flowers') beads are built from patterned glass canes: the cane is drawn, sliced, and the slices are fused into a bead so a flower-like cross-section repeats across the surface. It is the most recognisable lampwork family in the range, and its chevron striped drum line records 204 sold on the supplier's marketplace listings.
The millefiori range is sold by the strand, which suits production buyers: strands keep sizes and colour mixes consistent within a line, and the recorded minimum is a uniform 50 strands across the drum, mixed-strand, oval and spacer lines. Prices run from $0.80 on mixed small-bead strands to $3.98 on oval chevron lines, so a strand quote must always name the exact line, not just 'millefiori'.

How buyers spec millefiori beads
- Buy by the strand, count by the strand. Every recorded millefiori line is strand-sold with a 50-strand minimum. If your production plan works in pieces, convert before you inquire so quantities compare cleanly.
- Name the cane pattern family. Chevron striped drums, mixed flower strands and flat spacers are different canes at different prices; 'millefiori mix' is not a specification.
- Fix the size ladder. The strand line is recorded in 4/6/8/10/12mm with mixed colours. If your design uses one size only, say so — and confirm the size mix on each strand, the strand length and the bead count before you cost it.
- Keep a pattern sample. Cane patterns are redrawn over time. Retain a strand from your first order and reference it on repeats so pattern density can be matched.
Minimums, units and packing
All recorded millefiori minimums are 50 strands. That is a strand count, not a piece count. Confirm the strand length, beads-per-strand and current price for the exact line on your list before ordering.
Buyer questions
Are these genuine Murano beads?
No. They are Chinese-made lampwork in the Murano millefiori tradition, and we label them Murano-style for exactly that reason. If your market requires Italian-origin goods, this is not the line for you; if it requires the millefiori look at production volumes, it is.
What is recorded for the chevron drum line?
Its listing records 204 sold at $2.50–2.90 per strand with a 50-strand minimum. The drums come in 6×6 and 8×8mm — a versatile size band for bracelets and strand necklaces — and the chevron cane reads clearly even at small sizes.
Can I order one size from the mixed strand line?
Ask on your inquiry. The line is recorded in 4/6/8/10/12mm sizes with mixed colours; confirm the size mix on each strand, the strand length and the bead count for the line you order. Single-size availability is confirmed per SKU, not assumed.
