Murano Glass Necklaces – The Art of Beads

Elegant or whimsical, simple or ornate, colorful or airy and transparent, Murano glass necklaces are pieces of jewelry that would make you stand out in any crowd. Each bead, each strand of seeds, are made by hand. They are pieces of exquisite art, made by glass artists in Murano, in Italy, and now coveted by every woman who appreciates jewelry that is artistic, unique and feminine.

 

Glass beads have been made by various peoples and tribes around the world for thousands of years. They were, and still are, decorating the necks of ladies of Masai in Africa, of Dayak tribe in Borneo or of Hopi Indians in the New World. They look like drops of sparkling light, woven, blown, strung, melted or imbedded, combined in thousands of forms and shapes. But, nobody makes beads so beautifully as glass artists in Murano.

 

Murano glass artists have been making glass jewelry for almost thousand years. This small island in the Venetian lagoon has been home to the most famous glass artists for centuries and the glass jewelry coming from Murano has always been coveted and admired, never to go out of fashion.

 

Glass necklaces from Murano are made in thousands of shapes, in the infinite combination of beads, gold and silver, each unique and perfect. Each bead is a piece of art in itself, made by blowing drops of glass to create delicate colorful or transparent orbs, often imbedded with speckles of gold or silver. Some beads are large, with swirls of colors or layers of texture. Others are tiny and delicate, soft and smooth, strung together like a waterfall of colorful light. There are chokers, made of a string of tiny seed beads, with one large, outstanding piece of glass. Others are whimsical, eccentric combination of beads of different colors, shapes and sizes.

 

Modern, traditional, elegant or ornate, Murano glass necklaces are pieces of art that would stand out on any beautiful neck, in any social situation or setting.

 

Murano glass artists invented most of glass making techniques that are today used by artists all over the world. Technology made making glass easier and faster, but the artistry of it remained the same for thousands of years.  All these old, traditional techniques are used today to make superb beads of all colors of the rainbow.

 

Whether millefiori (thousands flowers), or intricate filigrana, each Murano glass bead is unique in itself. Placed in exquisite glass necklaces, they are true pieces of art.

 

A delicate glass necklace works well with any wardrobe. You can wear an elegant glass necklace with tiny glass beads and one large, superb ruby red delicately inlaid bead with a black evening gowns. You can wear a silver choker with one brilliant millefiori bead with your jeans and a sweater. Even the simplest outfit will stand out with a colorful glass necklace. Black or grey clothes can get just a touch of playfulness with a sparkling bead necklace. Flowery dress will not be overpowered by a light, delicate and feminine glass necklace with just one cobalt blue bead.

 

Wearing a Murano glass necklace means making a statement: I am unique, and I do not take myself too seriously; I love beauty, but I do not need diamonds; I love art, and I appreciate tradition. Once you own a true, original Murano glass necklace, you are joining the women of superb taste of the past centuries, who knew how to use the beauty of glass to enhance the beauty of their own.
