The Le Gemme series is fashioned using artisan techniques and expert hand-craftsmanship that make each tessera unique, luxurious and one-of-a-kind. The individuality of this series derives from the special glass-coloring technique that includes the addition of aventurine and colored enamel granules. Aventurine is a type of glass obtained through artisan craftsmanship, a technique passed down by the Murano glass masters for centuries. Copper crystals mixed with brilliant metal oxides are found inside aventurine where they create a golden scintillating flamed effect in the mosaic tesserae.

The tesserae in the Oro Bis collection are fashioned with 24 kt gold foil (Oro Bis giallo) or a gold and silver alloy (Oro Bis bianco) inserted between two protective layers of glass. The presence of the precious metal and the artisan-crafted process make this collection extremely luxurious. Because the tesserae are beveled ‒ like those in all the other collections of the same shape ‒ the Oro Bis tesserae are compatible in shape and thickness with the Bisazza glass mosaic collections, allowing them to be used in blends, shadings and patterns.
