Murano glass - Necklace - Opera

Long necklace entirely handmade, combining lamp-worked Murano glass beads and beads covered with Venetian seed beads. The five glass beads, set on an opaque turquoise base, are lamp-worked in Murano and enriched with submerged dichroic glass inserts. The dichroic glass has the property of changing color with light and the angle of observation: reflections shift from green to gold, from copper to blue, in a mosaic-like pattern outlined by thin black edges. Among these alternate four beads covered with seed beads, hand-stitched one by one around an inner core, in black, turquoise, or both colors. The seed beads, the small glass beads of the Venetian tradition, also compose the necklace’s thread. Petal-shaped cups with an antiqued finish and aquamarine faceted beads complete each bead, while some turquoise beads punctuate the black strand. The length allows wearing it long, down to about mid-torso, or doubled around the neck. Each necklace is unique: the dichroic reflections and the arrangement of seed beads vary from piece to piece, as is typical of artisanal work. Length: about 88 cm (the length of the piece; it can also be worn doubled). Thread: black Murano seed beads, aquamarine and turquoise faceted beads. Metal: steel (lobster clasp and cup-shaped findings). The necklace comes in a rigid jewelry box. It is accompanied by a certificate of originality, attesting to the artisanal Murano glass workmanship. Fast shipping, with careful and secure packaging.
