So-called trade beads seem to be documented more thoroughly than the jewelry beads... 'art deco', Edwardian', small holed Venetian fancies, and various foiled beads.

I appreciate everything I learn here. Most wedding cake beads seem to be Venetian without dispute except for some poor copies from India. There are crossovers with decorated beads. Millefiori slices showing up on beads from other places. Adventurine everywhere.
