A brief history and background on Murano Glass. Enjoy!
Intellectual Property of Olivia Stuard Jewelry
The magnificence of Murano Glass was established during the 9th century in Rome, around the year 1083, and since the dawn of civilization, extraordinary glass has held a powerful appeal and mystique all its own. For hundreds of years, the artisans of the tiny, romantic isle of Murano, nestled on Italy’s sun coast, have been hand-making Murano Glass. This glass is hand-blown by these old-world artisans and is usually infused with flecks of 24k white gold and 24k yellow gold leaf, or sterling silver leaf. Murano Glass comes in many vibrant colors and can be blown into beads for jewelry, vases, bowls, and many other unique pieces of home decor.
This glass is the epitome of unique: many people don’t know that each piece you see, whether it be a beaded necklace, a vase, etc, is a piece of glass that has been blown by hand by a skilled craftsperson in Italy. The glass is quite timeless and breathtakingly beautiful.
We’ve been crafting unique jewelry pieces for people for years now that include pieces of Murano Glass. It makes beautiful holiday pieces in particular and you can always be sure you are wearing something that is entirely unique: truly a one-of-a-kind piece. And to those that want to stand out, you’d be wearing something no one else will ever really have. Huzzah!
