AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Made entirely by hand in Murano, this small glass bee is a true sculpture in miniature, shaped by flame piece by piece.
The head, glossy black glass, is illuminated by two raised eyes that give it a lively and friendly expression. The body, honey-colored amber glass, is wrapped in the classic dark stripes and crossed by soft veins that, when held to the light, remind of honey itself. On the sides open two wings in transparent yellow amber glass, applied hot. When struck by light, the wings let it glow through and project delicate golden reflections. A black bead at the end completes the body like a tiny sting.
The pendant is mounted on a finely worked gold-toned hanging bail and drops from a thin chain with small links. The spring-ring closure, with extension chain, allows adjusting the length.
A cheerful jewel full of character, perfect to wear every day or to give to someone who loves nature and original details.
Each bee is unique: the glass hues, the pattern of the stripes, and the shape of the wings vary from piece to piece. Small bubbles and irregularities are the mark of scientific craftsmanship, not defects.

Seller's Story
Hi, I'm the founder of Bottega Isola. I was born and raised on Murano, and glass runs in my family: I grew up around the furnaces, surrounded by a craft my family has carried for generations. I've always been drawn to design and to handmade, one-of-a-kind objects, the kind that make memorable gifts for any occasion. Inspired by many cultures and design styles but rooted in my island's tradition, I create and select pieces that carry the history of Murano glass into today's homes and spaces.
Nothing here is chosen at random. Most designs go through several trials before they're just right, and each one has to bring something to the space it lives in, whether that's purpose, character or atmosphere.
Every piece is handmade on Murano by some of the island's most skilled glass masters, using techniques passed down for centuries. Each one comes with a certificate of authenticity and is carefully hand-packed in professional, glass-safe packaging, so it reaches you safely wherever you are.
