Description from the seller
Made entirely by hand in Murano, this large pendant is a small glass charm: an explosion of colors and volumes, shaped by the flame layer by layer.
On a base of transparent amber glass stand four large raised "eyes", cherry-red disks with pink-lilac cores, surrounded by a corona of red-orange dots. All around runs a wavy frame of yellow filaments and turquoise arches, while small gray tortoise shell dots speckle the background. When backlit, the amber glass glows with golden reflections.
The pendant is mounted on a hand-tied black cord and ends with a three-string tassel finished with red beads. The necklace is made of opaque seed beads, the traditional Venetian pearls, arranged in color blocks: turquoise, red, olive green, yellow, gray tortoise, and orange, echoing the tones of the pendant.
Even the clasp is glass: a lamp-worked button, decorated with the same eyes and colors as the pendant, hooks onto an olive-green seed bead loop. It is a traditional and functional solution that makes the jewelry beautiful to look at even from the back.
The matinée length makes the pendant fall to mid-chest: perfect over a black dress or a solid-color top, where the colors explode with all their intensity.
Each pendant is unique: the arrangement of the eyes, the undulations, and the glass shades vary from piece to piece. Small bubbles and quirks are the mark of artisanal workmanship, not defects.
Details
Technique: lamp-worked glass, with heat-applied raised decorations.
Necklace length: about 58 cm (matinée length, falls to mid-chest).

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.
