Murano Glass Jewelry

Murano Glass Jewelry
Many of our exclusive lines use a particular type of glass, called Murano art glass. Murano is actually one of several islands just outside of Venice, Italy. In this region, each of these islands focuses in a specialized handcraft; Murano is famous for their art glass making. Culturally rich with history, tradition, ancient techniques and art, Murano glass dates back as early as 982 and is the oldest glassmaking tradition in Europe. It incorporates its heritage with constant technical and artistic innovation to create beautiful art sculptures, vases, jewelry and more. Murano art glass is only made in Murano. Although, it is very much imitated, there is only one true Murano glass and it is protected by the Marchio del Vetro Artistico di Murano trademark. This trademark signifies that the Murano glass was made by an approved Muranese glassmaker. FashionIslandJewelry.com guarantees that our Murano Glass Jewelry products are authentic Murano art glass.
