Murano Style Fused Glass Pendant Necklace

This item is a Murano glass pendant necklace featuring a rectangular, almost square-shaped glass pendant suspended from a simple black cord. The pendant exhibits vibrant, iridescent colors, appearing to be primarily composed of fuzed glass layers. From top to bottom, the dominant colors are a warm golden-orange, followed by a bright, shimmering turquoise or teal, and lastly a rich, deep reddish-purple or maroon. The colors seem to be layered or swirled within the glass, creating a sense of depth and movement, characteristic of glass fusing or lampwork techniques often employed in Murano glass. The surface of the pendant appears smooth and possibly slightly rounded at the edges, indicating polished craftsmanship. There are no apparent chips, cracks, or significant abrasions visible on the glass, suggesting good overall condition. The black cord is a simple, possibly waxed cotton or synthetic material, appearing to be tied directly around the top portion of the pendant, forming a loop for suspension. A simple sliding knot or series of knots are visible on the cord itself, allowing for adjustable length. Given the vibrant coloration and layered appearance, it strongly resembles modern Murano glass artistry, likely produced in the late 20th or early 21st century. The craftsmanship indicates individual artistic effort rather than mass production, although without a specific maker's mark, attribution remains general. The piece is in good visible condition with no obvious signs of wear or damage to the glass or cord.
