Sterling Silver Millefiori Glass Teardrop Pendant

A decorative mixed-media pendant featuring a teardrop-shaped central cabochon of Italian Millefiori (thousand flowers) glass. The glass displays a dense, multi-colored floral cane pattern with prominent shades of royal blue, kelly green, white, and flecks of red and yellow. The glass is encased in a sterling silver bezel with an open-back setting. The architectural frame consists of concentric curved wires at the top and linear struts at the base, accented by three small blue synthetic spinels or glass pastes set into teardrop-shaped silver bosses. Small silver granulation beads decorate the junctions of the frame. The reverse of the bezel shows a '925' hallmark, indicating sterling silver purity. The metal shows a brushed or slightly aged patina with minor surface scratches and tarnish consistent with modern vintage wear. The craftsmanship suggests a late 20th-century artisan production, possibly from the 1980s or 1990s, blending traditional Murano glass techniques with contemporary silver metalwork. The overall integrity is good, with all stones securely set and no visible chips to the glass.
