This piece comes from Murano, an island in the Venetian lagoon, where master glassmakers have worked for centuries creating some of the most unique and beautiful art glass in the world. Sometimes Murano glass is called Venetian glass or Italian glass. This is because the island of Murano is part of the city of Venice in the country of Italy.

This handcrafted Murano glass necklace comes with a gift box that is great for giving or storage for years to come. This necklace also comes with an information card about Murano glass that states the following:

Master glassmakers crafted this piece on an island in the Venetian lagoon named Murano. Glassmaking in the area dates back to the seventh century. The glassmakers have been on the island since 1291, when the Venetian Republic ordered the glassmakers to move their foundries because of the fire threat to Venice’s wooden buildings. Throughout history the uniqueness of Murano glass has been taken very seriously with skills often passed down only to family.
