Murano Glass Gifts: bringing Italian charm to you

When you think of the city of Venice, what comes to mind? Gondolas certainly, as well as narrow cobblestoned streets, romance, and spacious courtyards overlooked by massive Renaissance cathedrals. What you may not know, is that Venice is also famous for its lace and its intricate glass work, particularly its Murano glass.

Murano is actually an island just offshore from Venice and for centuries it has been famous for its uniquely crafted glass works. Murano craftsmen were renowned around Europe for their skills and refinement of many glass work techniques, such as enamelled glass, gold-threaded glass, milk glass, and lamp working.

Nowadays one doesn't have to travel to Murano to get its famous glass art. Now, one can simply open up their browser, thanks to sites such as Murano Glass jewellery. Since 2001, Murano Glass Gifts has been selling Murano glass vases, bottles, ornaments, and jewellery around the world.

I have always been a fan of the unique whimsy and beauty of Murano glass. The colors and quality of craftsmanship is of the highest quality that would hold a special place in anyone's jewellery collection. Murano Glass Gifts offers a wide variety of Murano Glass Pendants and Murano Glass Earrings, such as the gorgeous pieces below:










So next time you are looking for a new jewellery piece to add to your collection, consider Murano and boast some timeless, Old-World elegance and charm.


Note: This post was sponsored by Murano Glass Gifts. I have never purchased any Murano Glass Gifts products, but prior to this post I did research for complaints against this company and it has a clean record.

I love their work. A friend went to Italy a few years ago and brought me two pieces of Murano glass--one looks sort of like a flattened marble with a blue and gold (thread) pattern. The other looks like a piece of candy with a wrapper that's twisted closed on both ends.

This is off-topic, but I also like cloisonné items and Fabergé eggs. I don't have any of either, but it's fun to window shop.
