*As early as the 11th century, the art of glass production was first practiced in Venice. Due to the narrow development of the city and the fire required for production, the glassmakers were expelled to the island of Murano in 1291 for safety reasons.
In earlier times, glass beads were used not only for jewelry but also as a medium of exchange or guest gifts.
In different colors, glass rods are turned over an open flame into small beads and refined with white or yellow gold leaf foil. It is a hardened special glass, which is produced exclusively on Murano and which can be recognized by a particularly intense color depth and radiance. Pearl making is a true craft and each pearl is unique.
