Google on Millefiori: Millefiori, meaning “thousand flowers” in Italian, is a glasswork technique with a history tracing back to ancient times. It involves creating decorative patterns by fusing sections of glass canes (murrine) into a single piece, resulting in intricate floral or mosaic-like designs. While the technique was known in ancient Egypt and Rome, it was revived and perfected by Venetian glassmakers on the island of Murano, near Venice, in the 19th century, making it a hallmark of Murano glass art.

Google on Costume jewelry, initially created as an affordable alternative to fine jewelry, has a rich history spanning centuries. It evolved from a desire to imitate fine jewelry’s look and style using less expensive materials, and eventually gained its own unique identity, reflecting fashion trends and cultural shifts.
