Necklace Murano glass, yellow-black-white
General Information
A blaze of color: Venetian glass
On the lagoon island of Murano, just outside Venice, the iridescent colored glass beads from which this necklace is made in a jewelry workshop in Pforzheim are created in the best Venetian tradition. The beads gain their shape, color and beauty each individually by hand under the flame. The processed glass material is extremely break-resistant thanks to a particularly high proportion of aluminum oxide - beyond this information, the manufacturing companies do not reveal the secret of the composition of their starting material and their color formulas. Only the iridescence can be explained: A fine gold foil is placed over the raw pearl bodies separated from a glass rod - as a base for another colored glass layer - and finally another layer of clear or colored glass is applied over it. This necklace uses glass beads made with both white and yellow fine gold foil - so it can be combined equally well with gold and silver jewelry.
Ménard. Timelessly beautiful and good
When Gisela and Detlef Menard founded their own company in 1981, the focus was still on the sale of antique-style jewelry. It has long since become an established family business that stands for timeless design and high quality. To achieve this, Ménard harmoniously combined aspects of craftsmanship, function and design. The clasps on the necklaces and bracelets, for example, are not just a necessary constructive evil, but in their simple yet effective design are sometimes pieces of jewelry in their own right. No wonder Ménard has protected them under design law. The necklaces and bracelets made from the colorful Murano glass beads, which come from the lagoon island near Venice, famous for its glass art, are almost a trademark. And of course Ménard also uses classic jewelry materials such as pearls.
Due to the high working and social standards, the short transport routes and the technical expertise, Ménard consistently relies on Germany as a location: the silver clasps come from the gold town of Pforzheim, stones are processed in the gemstone town of Idar-Oberstein. It is worth noting that Ménard works specifically with refineries that only use recycled silver and gold for the precious metals.
