AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Fully handmade in Murano, this necklace fuses two great Venetian glass traditions, submerged gold and murrine, in a refined play of blue and gold.

In the center, a lamp-worked glass sphere is wrapped by a submerged gold leaf, whose crackled pattern reveals the deep black of the glass underneath. On the surface are set precious murrine: small red hearts on a cobalt blue background, white and blue flowers on an orange-yellow background, stars and colorful petals. A transparent glass layer, with soft raised folds, encloses it all and enhances its light. Two filigree gold cups in the shape of a flower frame it like an antique jewel.

On the sides, two rectangular cobalt blue glass pearls with submerged gold leaf repeat the colors of the sphere: blue appears in irregular patches on the gold, with an intense and precious effect. Faceted blue sapphire and small yellow-gold spacers complete its elegance.

The strand of clear seed beads with a gold core unites everything like a thin trail of light. The lobster clasp with a prolongation chain allows for adjustable length.

An elegant piece of jewelry rich in meaning, perfect to wear on special occasions or to give to a loved one.

Each necklace is unique: the arrangement of the murrine, the gold texture, and the shades of blue vary from piece to piece. Small bubbles and irregularities are the mark of artisanal craftsmanship, not defects.

Details

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.
