White Murano Glass Heart Pendant

Description

Here's the definition i found for Murano Glass, in case you're wondering :-). Murano glass is specially created and treated glass made on the Isle of Murano in Italy. Since the 13th century, glassmakers of Murano have created signature works and processes for glass products such as jewelry. Murano glass is a beautiful medium of art, and comes with an ancient history of innovation.
In the late 13th century, glassmakers were ordered by the Venetian government to move many of their studios to the Island of Murano. It is believed that this was done out of fear of the high temperature firing done by glassmakers, a danger in the largely wooden city of Venice. The glassmaking community of Murano became highly important to Italian trade, and prized for its beauty.

Pendant hangs from metal chain and measures 18 1/2 inches in length and fastens with a toggle clasp
