AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This Murano glass necklace is a fresh, elegant handcrafted piece of jewelry, featuring a thousand shades of blue, from deep sapphire to aquamarine, enhanced with submerged silver leaf.
The necklace is handmade from authentic Murano glass. At its center is a transparent sapphire-blue glass sphere containing a sheet of silver, encased using the sommerso technique. Seen through the deep blue glass, the silver glows with luminous, shifting reflections, like light mirrored on deep water.
On either side are two opaque turquoise glass beads, decorated with closely spaced raised spiral grooves that evoke the movement of waves, alternating with small sapphire-blue glass spheres containing submerged silver. Moving up toward the clasp, two large lens-shaped beads and two small spheres in aquamarine tones, also with submerged silver leaf, complete the design with their delicate brightness. The veins in the silver leaf make every bead different, while the silver-plated flower-shaped caps enhance their shape.
The beads are joined by a strand of transparent conterie with a silver core—the traditional Venetian glass seed beads—which harmonizes beautifully with the reflections in the larger beads. The lobster clasp and extension chain, finished with a small turquoise crystal, make it easy to adjust the length.
The interplay between the luminous transparency of the glass with silver and the solid, sculpted surface of the turquoise beads gives the necklace a refined, original character. It is perfect with both an elegant look and a simpler style, and makes every piece unique.
This necklace is ideal as an everyday piece of jewelry, a collectible, or a refined gift idea.
This piece was handcrafted by a master glassmaker on the island of Murano. Like every piece bearing the Bottega Isola name, it was selected from among the island’s finest creations to offer only authentic, high-quality Murano glass.
The piece comes with a certificate of authenticity attesting to its origin and authenticity.
Each creation is delivered in elegant Bottega Isola packaging. A murrina—always different—is affixed to the box: a unique little detail that serves as Bottega Isola’s mark of authenticity.

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.
