Niya Murano Bead Necklace

Multicoloured Murano bead necklace with gold leaf inclusions, combined with gold-tone elements and crystals. The technique of encasing gold leaf within glass dates back centuries on the island of Murano, near Venice, where generations of glassmakers refined the process to capture light within the bead itself rather than on its surface. Here, that lustrous effect echoes the depth and richness of nineteenth-century Japanese lacquerware, a decorative tradition long prized by European collectors for its warmth of colour. Richly coloured and finely detailed, it makes a lovely gift for any lover of Murano glass necklace.
