[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 263770, member: 85"]I'm sorry, that was an abrupt and rude answer to an honest question. Sommerso is Italian glass. Not likely to be used to describe beads. From Wiki: [I][SIZE=3][B]Sommerso[/B][/SIZE] Sommerso (lit. "submerged" in Italian), or "sunken glasses", is a form of artistic Murano glass that has layers of contrasting colors (typically two), which are formed by dipping a gather of colored glass into another molten glass and then blowing the gather into the desired shape; the outermost layer, or casing, is often clear. Sommerso was developed in Murano during the late thirties and was made popular by Seguso d'Arte & Mandruzzato family in the fifties. This process is a popular technique for vases, and is sometimes used for sculptures.[/I] This looks a lot like some of the imported jewelry from China that is available now. I could be wrong. Wait for other responses. [I][/I][/QUOTE]
