Thanks Alan,
If Moretti, then could we assume they were made from maybe 1950 onwards? My initial reaction was that these were Venetian but "later" than the heydays of the trade bead era. Yes, the jumbled core looks vaguely familiar but I could not place it. I think you are correct!

See the beads in the Sick Cards # 10230 and #1054x series. I am pretty certain that these are Moretti beads.

You have a sharp eye - I went looking through the catalog and did not notice the resemblance of the canes to these.

I think they are, like most others, from the early 1900's. I see no reason why these would be newer. This pattern is found on quite a few millies in different colors from the typical African trade period. I always think they are pretty cool!

Kinda busy, but here is a previous discussion on this type. The word used is 'brecciated'

Actually, when going through another thread, found a picture of mine. Yours have a more distinct pattern inside between the black and yellow, but I think that that just has to do with how heated the cane pieces got during application.

I found this Moretti millefiori from the '30s; it was made for western market. I'm sure I have some more(at least one round and one cylindrical) but this evening I've some problems with my sight, and in taking picture too...

A wonderful necklace of graduated millefiori! Is it possibly an original mount? I have the one in the picture in my collection: it is a proof by Moretti from the '30s, without a clasp. They didn't normally sell mounted necklaces, and this can be a proof to see how their beads worked; possibly somebody else realized the final mount like your, or used the same model. What I like of this millefiori, intended for the western market, is that they (to me)represent the peak in quality of Venetian millefiori production, due both to the skills of beadworkers (women) and to the quality of the millefiori canes.
