AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Entirely handmade in Murano, this glasses chain turns a practical accessory into a small piece of jewelry, warm and radiant as gold.

Along the thread, two main lamp-worked beads stand out, made of crystal glass with a sunken gold leaf, speckled with amber-brown spots that recall the leopard’s coat: an elegant animalier touch, reinterpreted with the light of Venetian glass. Between one bead and another alternate small beads also made of glass with sunken gold leaf, which shine with every movement. The thread is composed of transparent rocailles with a gold core, the traditional Venetian beads, uniting everything in a single golden reflection.

The ends are finished with silicone rings, which adapt to both eyeglass and sunglass temples and hold them securely without marking them. Thus the glasses remain always at hand, resting on the chest like a necklace.

An elegant accessory with a bold character, perfect for those who wear glasses every day and for those who love refined details even in everyday objects. Also an original and useful gift idea.

Each chain is unique: the gold grain pattern and the arrangement of the spots vary from bead to bead. Minor natural imperfections are the mark of handmade workmanship.

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.
