BEAUTIFUL WORLD OF MURANO NECKLACES

Not so long ago only the rich could afford to purchase and enjoy a piece of authentic Murano Glass. Today, the breathtakingly beautiful, hand-made pieces of authentic murano glass reach people on all five continents.

700+ year-old, handmade Murano glass techniques and designs are still strictly followed by the skillfull masters on the island of Murano in the Venetian lagoon. Each piece is unique - small or large, inexpensive or worth thousands of dollars. Take a quick look at this amazing murano necklace brought to you by GlassOfVenice.com:

Part of GlassOfVenice murano necklaces offering, this piece of exquisite workmanship stands out and creates truly royal impression.

Unspoilt by motor vehicles, the Murano island is just 10 minutes away from Venice by boat ("Vaporetto"). The island is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Glass makers were confined to the island for centuries to keep them isolated from the world outside but these days tourists arrive themselves to see how Murano glass is still made in the workshops on the island.

Murano glass industry, thriving through the centuries, proves again today that, just like centuries ago, the tight community of glass workers is commited to carrying their craft through generations despite all changes that affect them. Like diamonds, Murano glass is there to stay forever.

MURANO GLASS -TRUE ART IN GLASS!

Who would have thought that glass can make such beautiful and unique jewelry? Not in my wildest dreams, until I saw this post on my friend Fernanda's blog, Searching the Inner Me.

When I opened the manufactures' website, Murano Glass Gifts, I was mighty impressed by what I found, jewelry totally unique and exquisitely made of the purest glass.



Somewhere just north of Venice, on a small island, these beautiful pieces are made and sculptured by hand. Methods that has been the trademark of Murano Glass for many centuries.

But it gets better, they also make glass animals, vases, bottles, center pieces, glasses, you name it. All guaranteed unique and authentic.

Being a horse lover, this prancing horse caught my attention. Made to absolute perfection.



A little history on Murano Glass:
The family business, Murano Glass, originated from the 9th century, when the Venetian Republic, for fear of fire, ordered the glassblowers to a small island. By the 14th century the 3000 inhabitants of the island became some of the most respected and revered citizens in all of Venice, granted special privileges and favors by the Republic. And it is not difficult to see why.

Now if I could lay my hands on this Cassandra Murano Glass Necklace, I just know I will be in the pound seats with my wife.... for a while anyway. :-)
I know she loves the color. And this piece is absolutely stunning. I might add, very reasonably priced, see for yourself, Murano Glass Necklaces.

Murano Glass takes great pride in their craftsmanship, each piece is actually an original hand - made work of art.

Looking at this Costa Rica Green necklace and bracelet, I am sure you will agree with me, exquisitely made, a true masterpiece.



If you fancy pendants, please feel free to brows though Murano's Glass Pendants page, pieces of unequaled standard and elegance.
The Murano Candy Necklace Blue is the kind of pendant my wife will be crazy about, she loves the turquoise blue color, and it will go well with most of her outfits and will definitely compliment her eyes.



Did I mention, if you stay in the US or Canada, UPS ground shipping is free? Well it is!

How lovely are these glasses? Imagine them in your glass collection! Fabulously made, superb craftsmanship! Made to perfection.



The Murano family guarantee 100% satisfaction, why don't you folks take them up on their offer? Visit their website, order something, be it for yourself, or as a gift for someone special. Oh, and please tell your friends!
