Muromachi Glass Necklace

Striking handcrafted necklace evokes the rich luster of 19th-century Japanese lacquerware. In the 19th century, Japanese lacquerware evolved significantly, especially during the late Edo and Meiji periods, as Japan transitioned from isolation to increased Western interaction. Lacquerware, traditionally crafted with techniques like maki-e (sprinkling gold/silver powder) and raden (mother-of-pearl inlay), became highly sought after in Europe and America. The demand led to innovations and adaptations, blending traditional methods with new styles to cater to Western tastes, marking a period of artistic fusion and global influence in Japanese lacquer art. Featuring black Murano beads with bronze leaf inclusions, complemented by gold-tone elements and crystals, this necklace exudes sophistication and elegance. It’s a perfect accessory for evening wear or to add a touch of glamour to any outfit.
