On my recent trip to Venice I was captivated by all the colorful
glass displayed in the windows of quaint little shops tucked into the beautiful
cobble stone streets. Murano Island, 1.5 kilometers from central Venice is
popular for its unique glass.
Murano glass is the “largest
proportion of Venetian glass” and every piece is handmade predominantly by
local inhabitants. Although the style of Murano glass making has remained the
same over the years and the industry is not as popular due to increasing foreign suppliers, I love the traditional patterns and colors!
Every piece of jewelry seems distinctive and unlike anything else in my collection. The price of this famous
glass depends on the size of the piece; bowls and vases can cost hundreds of
Euros while travelers can purchase smaller items at more affordable prices.
Today I am going to share some of the jewelry I
purchased on my trip and you can enter for your chance to win a charm bracelet!
