Are you interested in Murano glass jewellery? Have you even given it a serious thought on the lines of its origin and how it is made? This article helps you in getting down to the valid facts about Murano glass Jewellery.

Murano glass is a world renowned product coming in from the Venetian Island Murano. The city was a famous commercial port and later on became very famous for its glassmakers that excelled in creating unique Murano glass. The process that is involved in making Murano glass is pretty complex and is done with the lampworking technique. Murano glass jewellery and glassmaking has its origins back in 9th century and that too in Rome. The place’s reputation as ultimate glassmakers originated when the Republic of Venetia ordered all the glassmakers to relocate to Murano with their foundries in the year 1291. Murano glass even now is interwoven with the Venetian glass.

By 16th century around half of the inhabitants of Murano Island got involved in glassmaking. Murrine are slender canes that come in multicolored glass. slices of Murrine are fused together in order to derive a range of floral patterns ...
... as well as geometric shapes that are already present in the glass rod. The usage of these murrine rods can be traced back to Ancient Roman history too. Though this form of artwork was not rediscovered until 16th century, once it was revived, it has taken the world by storm.

Murano glass pendants are created with the help of such glass rods that are having layers of varied colors of glass in order to get an intricate design. This is then heated in order to get the layers fused with one another. The rod is heated again and pulled so that it becomes absolutely thin. At the same time, it is maintained that art work gets a perfect cross section that was there in the original design. When the heat subsides the item is made into small discs. These are then artistically arranged in metal rings of varying shapes and sizes.

The entire Murano glass jewellery making is a complex process and hence it calls for a lot of expertise and skill which only the Murano glassworkers possess. Establishing the authenticity of the jewellery is also a must.
