A Little Bit About Murano Glass Jewelry

Jewelry is an incredibly subtle accent for any ensemble. What you choose to wear dramatically effects the way you see yourself and the way that others see you. A special piece of jewelry can either make or break your outfit. It can add the precise accent you need to compliment your attire. Your jewelry is timeless.

There is something about Murano Glass Jewelry that seems to transcend time, trends, and fashion. Something so simple. Much like jewels, and gold jewelry, Murano Glass accessories withstand the test of time and forever remain a quintessential element to every complete jewelry collection.  Traditionally, when one mentioned Murano glass, exquisitely crafted glassware such as chandeliers and wine goblets would come to mind. Now the same luminosity and sparkle that was found in the high-end artistry if it’s glassware, is found in the delicately crafted high-end jewelry. Very few people are familiar with Murano glass jewelry. All these people are drawn to its sophistication and uniquely beautiful colors and design. Hence, every piece of such jewelry will surely make a fine addition to any jewelry or accessory collection


Murano glass is actually made using raw materials such as sodium oxide, sodium, nitrate and arsenic, along with flux, or melting agents. It is blown and formed at low temperatures. The sodium oxide content of the glass mixture dictates the speed of solidification. The more sodium oxide, the slower the rate of solidification. In the crafting of glass, nitrates and arsenic may be added to the mixture to create an opaque surface free of bubbles.

The color and transparency of a Murano glass piece are commonly incorporated into pieces such as beads and pendants. Every unique design is handcrafted by a Murano glass blower. Consider the other details, such as enamel painting and engraving, and each piece comes to life.  The colors, technique in creation and design of each piece of this jewelry created from Murano glass redefines what delicate and exquisite in jewelry is. It simply recreates the "awe effect" that diamonds normally possess. On the other hand, simpler yet chic designs of Murano glass necklaces, rings and bracelets also go well with everyday wear.  Hence, the look of these glass jewelries brings style versatility and wearability under its fine list of features
.

Because Murano glass jewelry is reaching the height of its production, many designers and celebrities have clued in the distinct, exclusive designs in the Murano necklaces, rings, pendants and bracelets. Add a touch of elegance to your life with a unique piece of Murano glass jewelry.
