One-of-a-kind, this lovely necklace features a beautiful pendant made of Liuli glasswork sculpted into a Pineapple and hangs on an adjustable Chinese cording necklace.
This item is made from colorful crystal or "liu li" using the pate-de-verre technique, an ancient method of casting art glass predominantly used during the Art Nouveau Period. Colorful Crystal is a wonderful material attracting a huge following in Asia lately because of its exquisiteness, fine quality, distinctive luster and captivating color blend. Every piece made of genuine colorful crystal is one-of-a-kind because it is hand-crafted and hence the color mixture will never be identical. The whole process of producing a colorful crystal piece which involves creating the mold, filling, burning, cooling and polishing is very delicate and tedious and may take up to a week to complete. Furthermore, the mold used to cast it can be utilised only once before it is disposed, which explains the relatively much higher price compared with other materials.
