How is murano glass jewellery made?
Murano glass is created exclusively on the Venetian island of Northern Italy, Murano. Murano glass is made from silica, soda, lime and potassium and is then melted together in a special furnace at a temperature of 1500°C to reach a liquid state.
The type of wood used to burn the furnace has often been referred to as a family trade secret by the various local artisans who dedicate themselves to creating these unique pieces of jewellery. This unique manufacturing technique guarantees exclusivity as no two designs of each Destino Jewellery handmade murano jewellery piece is the same.
How to identify genuine murano glass handmade jewellery
One of the attractions of murano glass is the fact that many of the pieces created on Murano Island including the Destino Jewellery murano jewellery line are handmade. This handmade jewellery technique is identified by the use of genuine precious metals including 925 sterling silver and 14k gold. Authentic murano glass finishing is personifieid by asymmetrical dimensions. Genuine murano glass is also clearly identified by the formation of “bubbles” in the glass that derive from the manufacturing process where the murano glass has been hand blown.
Is murano glass handmade jewellery expensive?
Murano glass handmade jewellery is not the cheapest on the market due to the manufacturing process deployed to create each unique piece. The Destino Jewellery diffusion line will incorporate murano glass into the collection from 2020. Jewellery buyers need to bear in mind that murano glass is simply stunning and the cost of any jewellery piece that often uses precious metals such as sterling silver is reflective of the workmanship undertaken for each handmade piece.
The Destino Jewellery murano glass handmade jewellery collection will be delivered in an elegant white leatherette designer jewellery box.
