AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Carved entirely by hand in Murano, this large pendant is a small amulet of glass: an explosion of colors and volumes, shaped by flame layer after layer.
On a base of transparent amber glass stand four large raised "eyes," cherry-red disks with pink-lilac centers, surrounded by a corona of red-orange dots. All around runs a wavy frame of yellow filaments and turquoise arches, while small taupe-gray dots speckle the background. In transmitted light, the amber glass glows with golden reflections.
The pendant is mounted on a hand-tied black cord and ends with a tassel of three cords, finished with red rocailles. The necklace is made of opaque rocailles, the traditional Venetian beads, arranged in color blocks: turquoise, red, olive green, yellow, taupe-gray, and orange, echoing the tones of the pendant.
Even the clasp is glass: a lamp-worked button, decorated with the same eyes and colors as the pendant, clips to an olive-green bead loop. It is a traditional and functional solution, making the jewelry beautiful to look at even from the back.
The matinée length drops the pendant to chest height: perfect over a black dress or a solid-colored sweater, where the colors explode in all their intensity.
Each pendant is unique: the arrangement of the eyes, the undulations, and the glass shades vary from piece to piece. Small bubbles and irregularities are the mark of artisanal workmanship, 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.
