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.
