Authenticity Guarantee
Every piece is hand-selected, cleaned, and described using over 20 years of vintage experience. When a listing says a piece is vintage, it is vintage. If an item isn't as described, I'll refund you in full, including shipping.
Vintage Condition
Every piece here is pre-loved and often decades old, so expect gentle signs of age and use, like light scratches, softened plating or finish, small marks, or patina. That's part of each piece's history and charm, and nothing will look fresh off a showroom floor.
Anything beyond normal wear, such as chips, cracks, repairs or damage, is always pointed out in the description and shown in the photos. If an item arrives with a flaw I didn't mention, my return policy has you covered.

Vintage 14K Gold Italian Millefiori Glass Ball Pendant | Stamped 14K Italy | Murano Style Flowers & Suns | 13.85mm Glass Bead | Charm Only
A whole garden of tiny flowers and smiling suns, rolled into one little ball. Which would you spot first: the orange sun or the brown blossom?
This vintage Italian pendant is a round millefiori glass ball fitted with gold findings stamped 14K Italy: a bail, jump ring, bead caps and a ball-tipped top pin. The glass is a Murano style mosaic of flowers, stars and suns in orange, turquoise, cobalt, green, yellow, brown and white.
- Material: Gold findings stamped 14K Italy (acid tested as solid gold; see notes below) with millefiori glass ball
- Necklace style: Pendant / charm only, no chain included
- Glass ball: 13.85 mm across, measured with calipers
- Total weight: 4.4 grams, glass and gold together
- Origin: Italy
- Condition: Excellent vintage condition, with normal light wear to the gold from age
About the gold, in full honesty: The bail is stamped 14K Italy, but the front of the stamp is partly worn and hard to read, as shown in the close-up photo. I acid tested it myself. It passed the 10K acid, and a fresh streak held under the 14K acid with a slight brownish tint, which suggests the lower end of 14K. It has not been tested by XRF.
About the weight: The 4.4 gram total includes the glass ball. I did not take the piece apart, because I didn't want to damage it just to weigh the gold. Based on the ball's size, I estimate the glass at about 3.5 grams, which would leave roughly 0.9 grams of gold. Please treat that as an estimate, not a measured gold weight.
Styling props shown in photos are not included.
