HISTORY

Known for its exquisite beauty, craftsmanship and utilitarian design, Murano quickly gained almost a monopoly on the production of fine glass in Europe and provided a major source of trade income and profits for the Republic of Venice. Mirrors produced in Murano were intricately detailed and ornately decorated. Glass blowing techniques flourished. In time, glass jewelry making also became part of the Murano glassmaking tradition and many new glassmaking techniques were developed. By the 14th century the glassmakers of Murano the island's most prominent citizens, enjoying immunity from prosecution by the state, allowed to wear swords, and their daughters often marrying into the most affluent families of Venice. However, since the glassmakers were prevented from leaving the Republic, many of the artisans became disenchanted and began leaving the island, taking great risk to establish foundries in other Italian cities and even in places as far flung as England, the Netherlands and Scandinavia.

Murano glass jewelry, as the name implies, is made from original Murano glass. Murano glass comes from Murano, which was the glasswork capital of the world in the 13th Century. Glass working technologies such as crystalline glass, milleflori, enameled glass, multi-colored glass, smoke glass, and milk gas all came from Murano.
