A pair of gold-leaf glass hearts dangle from a strand of tiny gold glass beads in this luminous necklace, handcrafted in a fourth-generation Venetian glass studio.
The Venetian island of Murano has been home to some of the world's most famous glass studios since the 13th century. Because of the risk of fire, the Venetian government moved all glass studios from the center city to this island where techniques flourished and evolved for more than 700 years in a concentrated community of highly skilled artists. During the Renaissance, Venetian glass was so essential to the economy that glassmakers were forbidden to communicate their techniques to anyone outside of their guild. Some of the original 13th century kilns are still in use today at studios that have passed from maestro to apprentice for centuries.
Beautiful color and so dainty!
Special momento to remind me of my travel to Murano myself🤗🎈
The necklace is lovely and I am very satisfied with it. The service was superb. The customer service was wonderful. Thank you so very much!
This necklace is so pretty, delicate and colorful! It is just as pretty as it appears in the catalogue.
My sister lives on 2 1/2 acres of woodlands and has birds all around the property who she keeps well fed! Several house finches have flown in the patio door and they had to be removed.....carefully....to fly home! I thought for her birthday I'd give her an "inside home" for her visitors as a fun gift . She loved it....and it is simply beautiful and a conversation piece, needless to say!
