Murano Maasai Multicolor Glass Necklace by Marina and Susana Sent from MoMA NYC

Rare, cheerful three-strand glass bead necklace in nearly new condition by Murano glass artists Marina and Susana Sent. The design pays homage to Maasai glass beadmakers for a take that's both modern and traditional. Quite moving and unique IMO. Purchased in 2019 from the Museum of Modern Art gift shop. I took it on one long train trip as my sole decoration. A few months later, traveling and going out stopped for a long while. The necklace is fun and easy to wear, with a rubber loop that slips over a large smooth red glass bead. The colors can go with a lot of different outfits. Brings a flash of color and casual cool. Really mood elevating. It also recalls the NYC subway map, with the colors of dots and dashes reversed.
