The 'Aurea' edition, Copper & Emerald Green color way, was created by artist Carolina Fontoura Alzaga of Facaro Art Studio.
Anchored by a two-tier, triple-crown base in brushed copper, this pendant strikes a harmonious balance of strength and grace. Below, transparent emerald green glass rods add a touch of lush vitality and natural beauty.
Softly glowing from porcelain bulbs—ensconced within each crown and radiating from the bottom column—the warm light enhances the quietly commanding presence of its copper and emerald elements. It casts a sensual, refined ambiance that elevates any space.
The curvature of the base is shaped by hand, and the glass rods are crafted through a process called "caning," in which molten glass is stretched into thin, patterned lengths. Each rod is meticulously suspended with a tolerance of just 1/64", reflecting the precision and care behind every detail. This pendant is completed with a suspension chain and canopy, finished to match the brushed copper base.
