Murano Glass Jewelry - More Than 500 Years Of History

I begin with: "Did you know?" ... But the beautiful jewels in Murano glass is known around the world!

Murano Glass and especially Murinas handcrafted in jewelry are handmade in the Venetian workshops using a 500 years old technique. For this reason, the jewels are not completely identical, the differences of colors and floral patterns makes each piece unique, with its own personality.

Now remember what I said our first customer (perhaps?) Who bought a ring:

"The ring is beautiful: it's colorful, it suits me and makes me special I wanted!"
