The trendy lustrous necklace can be easily identified as 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.

• Measurements: The necklace is just over 16 inches long and comes with an elegant attached extender chain. Each bead is approximately 3/8 inch in diameter.
• The non-glass elements of this necklace are made of 18 kt gold-plated brass for durability, all-day comfort, and an elegant look.
• This Murano Glass necklace comes with an attractive velvet pouch and a certificate of authenticity.
• Additional matching jewelry items such as earrings and bracelet shown on some product photos, are NOT included.
• Because each Murano Glass necklace is a unique work of art made by hand, small variations of colors may occur.

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.
