After presenting the video about making Murano glass jewelry and beads, I thought maybe you would like to know and see more. Murano glass is art glass that comes from Murano island in the Venetian lagoon known for master glass-making, a tradition that dates back to the 7th century. The classical technique of blowing glass was perfected throughout the generations. Murano glass is considered one of the world’s finest art glass.

Murano glass jewelry is fit for quite a lot of settings, whether you use it on a ring or a pendant, it looks just as great. There are also multiple techniques of making Murano glass: millefiori, with small flowers inside the glass (first photo) or using silver or gold leafs or powder.

A Murano glass necklace can be slightly heavier that others depending on the size and number of beads, but this won’t definitely stop me from wearing one.

Murano glass comes in basically any color so matching it with clothing is not really an issue. Sparkly, pastel or bright vivid colors, transparent or milky, there are a lot of choices.

I have found this fascinating video about making Murano glass pendants. Murano glass is typical from the small island of Murano, in Venice, Italy. Have a look!
