Vintage Murano Pendant Necklace, Amber Glass, Retro Antique Jewelry

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This necklace features a rectangular Murano glass pendant, presented on a fine silver-colored link chain. The pendant displays an intense amber hue, with coppery and golden reflections characteristic of hand-worked Murano glass. The smooth and shiny surface of the pendant reveals subtle internal variations, typical of the artisanal technique used in Murano to integrate material and light effects into the glass.

On the front of the pendant, a small metal plate is affixed, bearing the clearly legible inscription "MURANO GLASS", attesting to the origin of the material. This plate is attached to the end of the pendant's bail, adding a touch of metallic contrast and a signature effect typical of costume jewelry from past decades.

The glass presents shades ranging from dark brown to orange, with a play of transparency that catches the light depending on the angle. The rectangular shape, with slightly rounded edges, evokes a sober and elegant style, typical of retro and vintage creations inspired by 20th-century Italian glass art.

The visible chain is a fine curb chain with regular links, with a silver finish, and ends with a ring connecting the pendant. The set is presented in a light velvet box (box not included, unless otherwise specified).

Condition

Used jewelry, sold as is. Some light traces of use may be observed on the chain and the metal plate, without affecting the brilliance of the glass. No chips or major scratches visible on the front face of the pendant.

Did you know? Murano glass has been made since the 13th century on the island of Murano, near Venice. The technique involves incorporating metallic powders and oxides into molten glass, which allows for unique colors and effects, as seen on this amber-decorated pendant.
