Murano glass - Necklace - Kaleido Amulet

Entirely handmade in Murano, this large pendant is a small glass talisman: an explosion of colors and volumes, shaped by flame layer after layer. On a base of transparent amber glass stand out four large embossed "eyes", cherry-red disks with a pink-lilac heart, surrounded by a corona of red-orange dots. All around runs a wavy frame of yellow filaments and turquoise arches, while small pigeon-gray dots pepper the background. In transmitted light, the amber glass glows with golden reflections. The pendant is mounted on a hand-tied black cord and ends with a tassel of three cords, finished with red beads. The necklace is composed of opaque glass beads, the traditional Venetian beads, arranged in color blocks: turquoise, red, olive green, yellow, pigeon-gray, and orange, echoing the tones of the pendant. The closure is also glass: a lamp-worked glass button, decorated with the same eyes and colors as the pendant, hooks onto an olive-green bead loop. It is a traditional and functional solution that makes the piece beautiful to look at even from the back. The matinée length places the pendant at chest height: perfect over a black dress or a solid-color sweater, where the colors explode with full intensity. Each pendant is unique: the arrangement of the eyes, the undulations and the glass shades vary from piece to piece. Small bubbles and irregularities are signs of artisanal crafting, not defects. Details Technique: lamp-worked glass, with hot-applied raised decorations. Necklace length: about 58 cm (matinée length, falls at mid-chest). Pendant: about 5 × 3.5 × 1.8 cm.
