Vintage 56-Inch Murano Glass Necklace with Aqua Foil Wedding Cake Beads and Aurora Borealis Crystals

There are statement necklaces — and then there are showpieces. This 56-inch vintage Murano Venetian glass necklace is a masterpiece of mid-century craftsmanship, designed to shimmer with every movement and catch every eye in the room.

Handmade in Italy, the strand features brilliant aqua-blue foil-infused Murano “wedding cake” beads (approx. 12 mm), each glowing with the depth of Venetian artistry. These larger beads are paired with opaline moon glow beads and faceted aurora borealis crystal beads (approx. 6 mm) that scatter light in a spectrum of colors. Sleek antique gold-tone bars (approx. 2.9 mm wide, 3.9 mm long) and warm gold-tone findings provide elegant contrast and balance throughout the design.

At an impressive 56 inches in length, this necklace offers endless styling possibilities: wear it doubled, tripled, or long and flowing for instant drama. It closes securely with a vintage spring ring clasp and remains in excellent condition with gentle age-appropriate patina to the metal, adding to its antique charm.
