AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Entirely handmade in Murano, this small glass bee is a true miniature sculpture, shaped piece by piece with flame‑working.
The head, in glossy black glass, is lit by two inset eyes that give it a lively and friendly expression. The body, in honey and amber colored glass, is wrapped in the classic dark stripes and traversed by soft veining that, when held to the light, reminds of honey itself. On the sides two wings of transparent amber-yellow glass are heat-applied. When struck by light, the wings let it filter through and cast delicate golden reflections. A black seed bead at the end completes the body like a tiny sting.
The pendant is mounted on a finely worked gold-toned jump ring and descends from a thin twisted-link chain. The spring-ring clasp, with extender chain, allows you to adjust the length.
A cheerful piece of jewelry with a lot of character, perfect to wear every day or to give to someone who loves nature and original details.
Each bee is unique: the glass tones, the pattern of the stripes, and the shape of the wings vary from piece to piece. Small bubbles and irregularities are a sign of handcrafted work, 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.
