Sterling Silver Millefiori Glass and Blue Topaz Teardrop Pendant
This decorative pendant features a central pear-shaped (teardrop) glass cabochon created using the Murano millefiori technique, showcasing a vibrant array of fused multi-colored floral glass canes including shades of green, blue, yellow, red, and white. The glass is set in a high-polish silver frame, likely sterling silver (.925 grade), although no hallmark is visible in the photograph. Surrounding the central glass are four faceted blue gemstones. Based on the deep vibrance and cut, these appear to be blue topaz or possibly synthetic blue spinel rather than tanzanite, which typically displays more violet-purple undertones. The gemstones include one round cut at the top and three pear cuts arranged at the cardinal points of the open-work silver frame. The pendant features a simple, polished bail for suspension. The construction appears to be contemporary hand-assembled jewelry, popular in the late 20th to early 21st century. The condition is excellent with no visible chips to the glass or stones, and the silver shows minimal patina or surface scratching, suggesting light use and careful storage.
