The trendy lustrous necklace can be easily identified as the magical work of Murano masters by its gorgeous colors, swirling patterns within each bead, and signature avventurina gold sparkles. To achieve such effects, the glassmakers employed Sommerso technique, where colored threads of glass are then submerged in a layer of transparent glass to create a layered effect. The copper particles infused into glass create subtle golden glitter and shine through under all lighting conditions. Each bead is hand-blown and consequently has a unique slightly uneven shape. Stylish, artistic, and one-of-a-kind, this necklace will attract immediate attention in any setting. Give this beautiful Venetian present to yourself or someone you love.
The necklace is 24 inches long. Each bead is approximately 3/8 inch in diameter. The necklace comes with an attractive velvet pouch and a certificate of authenticity.

Because each item is a unique work of art made by hand, slight variations of colors and patterns are possible.

Avventurina is an ancient technique of Venetian glass-making, in which tiny pieces of copper are infused into the glass mixture for the unique sparkling effect that is characteristic of authentic Murano Glass. Using lampworking method master artisans heat up specially made glass canes produced by Murano Glass factories, then dip the blob of glass into avventurina shavings, then continue to twist and shape the glass into the design they want to achieve, sometimes also using sterling silver foil, gold foil and other additional accents to highlight the play of colors and create a truly unique piece of authentic Murano Glass. Avventurina glass beads, jewelry, rings, earrings are some of the most recognizable works of Murano Glass.
