These dainty flowers hold vibrant colors and will brighten any bracelet stack The technique for these beads was invented in Egypt in the 2nd century BC and later made its way to Venice where they became world renowned thanks to the help of the expert glassmakers on the island of Murano *Note that the number of beads between each heart varies based on size.
