Description
Reviews
A modern mouthblown feat, this one-of-a-kind millefiori, or "thousand flowers," pendant is softened by rounded corners.
1.5"sq. with 13" to 15"l. cotton cord.
Museum Provenance
Like the Murano glass in our ceramics and glass collections, National Museum of American History, Behring Center, it is crafted by master artisans on the Venetian island of Murano.
Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
I have enjoyed wearing this beautiful piece on casual chic occasions. I have received several compliments. It is a fun and vibrant way to accessorize. I also purchased one for my sister!

Beautiful necklace - vibrant colors. Will go with everything. Looks very expensive. I receive compliments every time I wear it. Excellent craftsmanship and very unique. The picture doesn't do it justice. Nothing to not like about this piece. Very pleased with this purchase.

Comments about Millefiori Pendant Necklace:
It is so nice to find a piece of jewelery that can be called an "all occasion" piece. It was a tad bigger than it showed on screen. Since this pendant is hand made, each piece is individual, sort of a one of a kind object. Charming....

THIS IS A TRULY GREAT PENDANT-NECKLACE. EACH IS AN INDIVIDUAL PIECE OF ART WITH GREAT DYNAMIC COLORS WHICH WILL GO WITH ALMOST ANYTHING. IT EASILY LENDS ITSELF TO A CASUAL OUTFIT OR A NIGHT OUT AT A FINE RESTAURANT. I WISH THEY HAD EARRINGS, RINGS, ETC. TO MATCH! WHAT A GREAT GIFT TO GIVE OR GET!

Comments about Millefiori Pendant Necklace:
I bought this for my daughter who spent a year in Rome. She took lots of photos, but didn't purchase anything for herself. So, when I saw this, it reminded me of her visit to Murano and how she watched glassblowers in action. When she opened her present, she immediately knew where it came from and was so pleased. She has a beautiful "memory" to wear around her neck.
