Colgante pulpo

Say hi to this lovely octopus necklace designed and handcrafted in my glass studio. This iconic lampwork pendant is finished in a classic style.
The beautiful chain is available in sterling silver finish or gold plating over a sterling silver base, in a lenght of 40cm (16´´) 45cm (18´´) or 50cm (20''). Whatever suits you better!

The Glasslampworking Processs
To create each unique murano glass bead I melt the glass bars with the flame of the torch, which reaches temperatures of up to 800°C. My purple glasses, in addition to being very fancy, protect my eyes and help me see better through the fire.

Once the shape is made, the beads have to spend 6 hours in the oven where the annealing process takes place. It will strengthen them so they can resist any blow. I have to wait until they are cooled to remove the beads very carefully from the mandrels which they were formed. I then wash and polish each one of them individually. Each bead, with their respective hook, takes a total of 2 days to create.

Hand Crafted in Spain
Each and every one of its Mur’s beads are handmade with a lot of care and dedication, there are no two identical beads. Therefore, although I will do my best, the pieces may show slight variations from the photographs.
