Vintage Murano Glass Wedding Cake Pink Set Necklace Earrings 1950s Mid Century
DESCRIPTION: Beautiful Vintage Venetian Murano "Wedding Cake" Fiorato Glass Necklace & Earring Set Up for sale is a stunning, 100% hand-made authentic mid-century Italian fashion demi-parure featuring a matching collar-length bead necklace and drop earrings. Handcrafted on the island of Murano, Italy, during the late 1940s to early 1950s, this set showcases exquisite artisan lampwork techniques. Artisan Design Details: - The Hand-Made Beads: The large focal beads feature a classic "Wedding Cake" (Fiorato) design. Each bead is individually worked over a flame with hand-applied, raised pink glass roses, blue forget-me-not dots, and shimmering aventurine gold foil swirls embedded on the surfaces. No two beads are identical.
Accents: The main beads are elegantly paired with solid pastel pink glass spacers, small white barrel beads, and clear seed bead spacers. The Drop Earrings: The drop earrings mimic the necklace focal beads perfectly, nestled inside beautiful brass filigree end caps. The front clips are uniquely accented with smooth, opaque turquoise-green glass cabochons to mask the hinge mechanism. The Hardware: The necklace secures with an ornate, stamped brass tongue-in-groove filigree box clasp.
The earrings feature adjustable brass screw-back mechanisms characteristic of the era. Condition & Professional Cleaning Notes: - Excellent structural condition: This is an authentic vintage item. Intact art glass: The glass beads are entirely free of cracks or heavy fractures, and the delicate raised lampwork floral decorations are remarkably intact. Natural aged patina: The brass findings show a beautiful patina and minor vintage wear/tarnishing to the plating on the back of the clasp and earring mechanisms. Secure closure: The spring tongue on the clasp clicks tightly and holds securely. Professional cleaning: To maintain its absolute vintage structural integrity, only a dry professional jewelry polishing cloth has been gently used to clean the metal components. No harsh liquid chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners have touched this piece, preserving its authentic, warm vintage patina. Note: Please review all high-resolution photos carefully as they form the primary part of the physical condition description. We do not use padded bubble mailers for glass art items. Layered Protective Packaging: - The Inner Layer: The necklace and earrings will be wrapped in tissue paper and placed independently inside separate, small ziplock baggies to prevent the brass findings and glass beads from rubbing against one another during transit. The Shield Layer: Both bags will be placed inside a sturdy, hard-shelled jewelry box filled with soft cotton padding to eliminate any shifting or friction inside the box. The Outer Layer: The jewelry box will be completely wrapped in a thick, 2-layer coat of heavy-duty bubble wrap, taped securely on all sides. The empty perimeter voids will be densely packed with packing paper to absorb external shock.
