Artisan Millefiori Glass and Sterling Silver Pendant

This is a large, contemporary artisan pendant featuring a central teardrop-shaped millefiori glass cabochon set in a polished white metal frame, likely .925 sterling silver. The millefiori (Italian for 'thousand flowers') glass exhibits a vibrant ‘millefiori’ pattern with multi-colored floral canes including blue, yellow, white, and green embedded in a clear glass matrix. The central glass piece is surrounded by a double-arched openwork frame accentuating its shape. The piece is further embellished with four faceted blue accent stones, possibly synthetic sapphires or blue topaz. One round stone is set atop the frame below the bail, while three pear-cut stones are set symmetrically at the sides and the bottom point. The metalwork features small decorative granulation beads at the base of the lower stone. The bail is a wide, polished tapered design suitable for various chain thicknesses. No hallmarks are immediately visible on the front, but the bright, high-shine finish suggests quality craftsmanship from the late 20th or early 21st century. The condition appears excellent with minor natural surface patina and light micro-scratches consistent with gentle handling.
