Murano Jewelry

Do you have any Murano jewelry?

I was browsing ETSY, and I found this lovely Milefiori glass necklance.

I sent yesterday a message to the seller asking if its real from Murano and he/she has not replied to me yet.

How can you tell if its real handmade glass beads from Murano and not plastic?

This is the picture of the necklace that I like owning (only if its an original one)

The island of Murano in Venice is renowned for its long tradition of glass-making. They make beautiful, beautiful chadeliers - dreams of glass.

@Reconnaissant so that means to me that the necklace is real right?

@Dinaki

I wanted to post the description that the beads are glass. I’m sorry I am not familiar with Murano glass jewelry. I read the reviews about your necklace and they were positive reviews. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.

You can tell glass from plastic by the weight. Glass is very heavy. Murano glass is not so valuable that anyone would try to counterfeit it.

I was in Venice last summer and picked up a few pretty pieces of Murano glass and jewelry. Usually the jewelry is marked with a sticker or tag to guarantee authenticity.

Unfortunately all of this Murano glass jewelry CAN be replicated in glass and has been coming from China for many years at lower budget prices.

People like to buy the Chinese glass beads for pennies and make their own necklaces. It is very popular at the jewelry shows.

The necklace you like on Etsy actually states at the bottom of the description that the necklace was made in California but it does not say where the beads are from. It also does not use the word Murano at all in the description.

My thought is, given the low price, if you like it, buy it, as it is very pretty and colorful and is definitely glass, although probably not from Italy.

Original Murano Glass is expensive. It is considered a luxury art and is not accessible to everyone. However they are artistic works that remain forever and often are also preserved in generation of fans, and Murano glass value is forever.

It is one of the most collected product in the market, worldwide many wealthy people are owners at least of one piece, all wealthy families in Italy have one piece at home or in office, and this is same for many north america italians.

@ahoymate Wow.... you surely know your Murano glass dear. I am happy that I did not ordered that replica necklace.

I have learned from my parents, if I fancy something, to always hold on something that is original, if I cannot afford to get one, wait when your purse has more coins to obtain it.

My sister is a glass blower and last year her and her husband took a trip to Italy for a glass blowers convention type event. They were gone for a few weeks. She gave me a pair or Murano glass earrings and they look very similar to this necklace.

I had a Murano glass bead necklace. It was beautiful. It was so heavy though, I disliked wearing it. I finally sold mine.

I love Murano glass and if I could I could buy & had a place to hang one I'd buy one of their beautiful chandeliers. Have visited and appreciate their work.

Yes, I do have Murano glass jewelry. I bought it years ago, a necklace and earings, and have never worn them.

Why don't you just email the seller and ask them your questions? If they don't answer well you got your answer. Etsy makes it easy to communicate so no misunderstandings. If it doesn't say Murano/Italy it's made with Chinese beads.

Re: Murano Jewelry

Dinaki — Mon, 03 Aug 2020 21:03:00 GMT

@silkyk I received an answer from the seller today.

She says that it is not a Murano but hand made in California and that it comes not with an authenticity card.

So from my understnting, it is a replica one, hence the price!

I have been blessed to visit the factory and store in Italy and was absolutely speechless at the pieces there. If you love it, get it! Whether it is true Murano glass is besides the point. Life is short, so if it speaks to tou, enjoy💗

@Dinaki .. I didn't see anything in the description that said it is Murano Glass. Millefiore does mean a thousand flowers ...but that doesn't mean it is Murano Glass.

Re: Murano Jewelry

Dinaki — Mon, 03 Aug 2020 22:06:56 GMT

@Boehm Collector you are correct dear, next time I should read each word very carefully.

I typed on the Etsy search bar, Murano neckalecae jewely and then it showed me many pages with jewelry that looks like Murano.

I did learn my lesson now, I have to double check what I read. It was too good to me when I saw their prices so very low as I am indeed famigliar how pricey a Murano piece can be.

Edited

A nice lady here (I am sorry I forget your name dear) told me that I search on Google and I did find a website that indeed sells real Murano and that web site is glassofvenice.dotcom.

So if any other ladies wants to purchase Murano, that webs ite it is a real one.
