HOT ! Michal Golan Artisan Mosaic Pendant Necklace – Natural Pearls, Glass, Mixed Media | Double Strand Statement

An extraordinary expression of artisan craftsmanship, this signed Michal Golan necklace captures the essence of wearable art through its richly layered mosaic design and luminous, hand-selected materials.

This double-strand composition is adorned with an intricate blend of natural pearls, hand-cut glass beads, faceted crystals, and enamel detailing—each element thoughtfully arranged to create a harmonious palette of soft pastels and jewel-toned accents. Aqua blues, lavender violets, blush pinks, and subtle greens come together in a refined yet expressive color story.

At the center, a sculptural mosaic pendant—resembling a miniature textile or heirloom panel—features a collage of cabochons, rhinestones, pearls, and enamel-set elements, all mounted in a warm, textured brass setting. The design is organic and painterly, with no two elements placed in perfect symmetry, highlighting its true artisan nature.

This is not mass-produced jewelry—this is a hand-assembled, signed designer piece that reflects the distinctive aesthetic of Michal Golan’s studio work.
