Note the subtle color shift in the snake. Simple things to learn from Lucio that will make your work really stand out!



Here's the back side of the pendant....

Ofilia, that snake, and the mermaid figure in the early shot (where you had forgotten the name of the glass) are both TAG Tibet. It's a 104 Amber/Purple striking glass. fwiw...

And YES YOU MUST GO TO MURANO!! Yes, you. And you... and you... and you... You will not regret it for a second, and you won't miss the cash once you have done it. BTW, My biggest shopping expense was shoes, the Italians are artisans in many different fields, lol!
