All About The Beautiful Murano Glass

Murano glass is a bit like champagne in the sense that a product that is widely used and widely made, used to only be made in one town. In Murano, Italy, in the 13th century resided the best glass artists in the whole of Italy. These true artisans were the absolute elite in creating beautiful glass designs, glass jewelry, etc. Because Murano glass was so special and highly regarded even in those times, when the glass making techniques slipped out of Murano to glass makers from other regions of Italy, the majority of glass makers decided to respect the craftsmanship of the Murano jewelers and glass makers, and so they reached a massive consensus to keep the name Murano as a way of recognizing the designers and inventors of this beautiful art.

Murano glass now comes in an incredibly large variety of styles and designs. Besides the well known Multi Colored glass, enameled glass, the best glass makers in Italy also designed and created the beautiful crystalline glass, and the milk glass, along with maybe the most beautiful and appealing out of all the styles, and specifically the aventurine, which is glass that contains designs made with gold threads. The process of making Murano glass could never be automated at any level, so all the beautiful pendants, earrings, rings, and brooches are still completely Hand Made with great attention to detail by the greatest glass craftsmen and jewelers in Italy, and some other countries, but the vast majority of Murano glass makers are based in the home country of the beautifully crafted Murano glass.

The process through which Murano glass is created hasn’t changed throughout the centuries. Murano glass is made out of the finest silica that is molten and transformed into High Quality glass. There are different compounds that are being added to the glass to prolong the time the glass stays molten and malleable, then coloring agents are added. For example, did you know that for that beautiful red color, there are no red coloring agents added, but a especially created gold solution? Just like this simple fact, all the other aspects of making Murano glass are simply spectacular.

Each and every piece of jewelry made out of or with Murano glass, is absolutely unique, and this is what gives it the special something. Knowing that the brooch or the earrings you are wearing are absolutely unique in the world is simply extraordinary. Brooches and pendants made out of Murano glass have a distinct sense of style to them, and this makes them suitable to be worn with a great variety of dressing styles. The quality is not fine, it is impeccable and perfect.

Does anyone know of a glass blower/jeweller in Melbourne, Australia who can repair a Murano ring from Italy?

I bought a ring from Italy and I have broken it and I am desperate to get it repaired. I have been to a regular jeweller but he did not have the appropriate glass blowing tools so he suggested a professional. I have contacted a few here in Melbourne none have got back to me. I need some help!! Obviously i don't need an industrial glass repair and there aren't many options here. Has anyone ever used a glass blower to repair jewellery or glass from Murano or Venice? Any help is greatly appreciated.
