AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This Murano glass necklace is an elegant and original handcrafted jewel, defined by the refined contrast between black seed beads and the luminosity of the submerged silver, with a precious central pearl worked in zanfirico.
The necklace is handmade in authentic Murano glass. In the center stands out a transparent crystal sphere worked with the precious zanfirico technique: slender glass canes twisted into spirals, in tones of cobalt blue, turquoise, pink and white, enclosed within the crystal and seeming to dance suspended like waves, accompanied by small air bubbles. A complex workmanship that requires great mastery and makes this pearl a small masterpiece.
Along the thread alternate glass beads with submerged silver leaf, in various shapes: elegant straight and curved cannette-like pieces, a delicate shell with relief veining, a tribute to the sea and the Venetian lagoon, and a small sphere enriched with multicolored fragments in Harlequin style in shades of red, orange, turquoise, blue, amber and green. Each bead is finished with pierced silver cups, which enhance its shape.
All of this is unified by a thread of glossy black seed beads, the traditional Venetian glass beads, which highlight the brightness of the silver. The lobster clasp with extension chain allows easy length adjustment.
The interplay of deep black, the brilliance of silver, and the delicate colors of zanfirico gives the necklace a refined and contemporary character, perfect both with an elegant look and with a simpler style, and makes each piece unique and original.
This necklace is ideal as everyday jewelry, a collectible item, or a refined gift idea.
The piece is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, confirming its provenance and originality.
Each creation is delivered in the elegant Bottega Isola packaging. On the box a different murrine is applied each time: a small unique detail that represents the authenticity signature.

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.
