Description from the seller

Made entirely by hand in Murano, this necklace captures all the passion of Venetian red in a heart sculpted by flame.

The heart, in transparent ruby red glass, is lamp-worked and decorated with elegant volutes and raised scrolls, applied by hand one by one in the same red, in a refined tone-on-tone effect. Small dots soften its profile. When struck by light, the glass glows and reveals all the depth of its color.

On the sides, two pairs of transparent crystal pearls with a soft shape enclose a sunken gold leaf, which shines with warm, precious reflections. The line of glossy black seed beads frames it and creates an elegant contrast with the red and gold.

Also the clasp is part of the jewel: a ruby red glass button, decorated with the same volutes as the heart, hooks to a loop of black seed beads. It is a traditional solution without metal parts, which makes the necklace look beautiful even from the back.

A romantic yet bold piece, perfect to give to a loved one or to wear with a dark dress, where the red of the heart stands out in all its strength.

Each heart is unique: the pattern of the volutes, the glass hues, and the texture of the gold vary from piece to piece. Small bubbles and irregularities are signs of artisanal craftsmanship, not defects.

Details
Technique: lamp-worked glass, with raised decorations applied hot and sunken gold leaf.
Length: about 48 cm (princess length, falls on the collarbone).
Heart: about 3 × 2.5 × 1.8 cm.
Thread: glossy black seed beads.
Closure: a lamp-worked glass button, with a seed-bead loop, without metal parts.

The necklace arrives in an elegant rigid jewelry box with a black velvet interior, ready to be gifted. It is accompanied by a certificate of originality, attesting to the artisanal Murano glass craftsmanship.

Fast shipping, with careful and secure packaging.

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.
