Venetian beads for comparison | |||||

The workmanship on your beads appears to be different - less precision and more variation on the squiggles.
The millefiori cylinders also do not appear to be Venetian.
Where did you get these beads? I think they are reproductions, dirtied up to look older. But, I would have to inspect them in person to be sure.
Note: The bead on the top right is quite different from the Zen beads. It is broken on one end and the broken surfaces are worn smooth. I initially thought it was a molded bead, but the perforation does not go through the centerline of the bead. Any comments on this one would be welcomed!
