Spring is a beautiful time of year, embodied most in the blooming of flowers on trees and the clear blue skies. The Venetian glass artisans have managed to capture that beauty in this incredibly detailed Murano Glass pendant. Up front there is a highly detailed cherry blossom tree towering over the tall grass, all done in a raised texture on the surface of the pendant in vivid green, brown, and pink strokes. Behind the clear surface, giving it a distinct three-dimensional feel, various colors of glass are used to present a view of a field stretching to the horizon, under a blue sky lit up by orange sun. Crafted with incredible skill and talent, the pendant presents a lovely picture of serenity, which is accented by a cord made of tiny clear beads and accented with larger beads in earth-and-sky tones. This exquisite Murano Glass pendant is an absolute work of art that would complement any jewelry collection. It makes an enchanting gift for those who love the beauty and tranquility of nature and appreciate rare unique accessories that are still made like hundreds of years ago in traditional European workshops.

Lampworking technique of glass-making, which dates back to ancient Egypt, was revived by Murano glass artisans around the fourteenth century. This technique is based on heating up a blob of glass under a small flame from a lamp or a torch until it reaches malleable state, then blowing and using simple tools or just hands to create various forms and designs. Lampworking allows the artisan's creativity to blossom, as copper sparkles, various minerals, and pieces of glass cane are fused together in this process to create rich colors and imaginative patterns that are always unique. Murano Glass masters often use lampworking method to create small jewelry, such as pendants, earrings, or rings, as well as keychains, barrettes, pillboxes, and figurines.
