The "gibigiane" are the gleams of light that radiate from the water of Venice's canals, creating intricate reflections on the stone walls and bridges. This necklace captures the myriad shades of green from the Venetian canals. The beads, crafted using the "sommerso" technique, feature multiple layers of glass illuminated by aventurine—a magical glass paste that sparkles with copper crystals. The technique is notoriously challenging due to its unpredictable outcome during the fusion process. The piece also includes a selection of floral and marine-themed beads created with fine lampworking techniques and layered glass designs.
