A Little History
Murano glass jewellery, mirrors and sculpture, according to historians began its life in Rome. Indeed glass furnaces have been discovered in Venice dating back to the 8th century. Venice is documented by the 1200’s to be emerging as a significant glass manufacturer providing the city’s largest industry. Crafting a large collection of glass objects from sculpture to Jewellery.
The glass produced in Venice and Murano island is very much interwoven.
In 1291 all Venice’s furnaces were moved to the island of Murano, for fear that the wooden buildings were at risk of fire and destruction. That its reputation as a unique centre for glass making was born.
Artisans working on the island of Murano were afforded many privilages including immunity from prosecution.
As well as allowing talented Murano Glass makers Daughters to marry into affluent Venetian families. In exchange for these rewards glassmakers were not allowed to leave the republic of Murano. Leaving the lagoon meant risk of death or having their hands cut off.
All our Murano Glass Jewellery comes with a money back guarantee so that you can be sure of its quality and individuality. Browse our online shop or contact us at Sarah Beth Jewellers for further details.
