Ancient glass beads and gold mosaico necklace

Ancient glass beads and gold mosaico necklace

A necklace composed of Roman-era excavated glass beads and Phoenician-era murrine with eye motifs.

These two precious and fascinating materials, full of history, have been further enhanced by a custom-made triangular module crafted from 18 karat yellow gold.

Daniela Vettori drew inspiration from the Byzantine mosaics she saw in Ravenna to create this fire-worked gold tile, which is part of the Mosaico collection.

The contrast between the warm yellow of the gold and the intense blue of the glass beads—with their magical and apotropaic aura—is striking.

This necklace was entirely handcrafted in our goldsmith’s workshop in Vicenza.

It is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece with an antique charm—don’t let it get away!
