Murano glass jewelry is handmade by glassblowers in Venice. Many still work from forges on the island of Murano. These pieces are designed to be like wearable art and are available in many different varieties. Whatever your style, you can find glass jewelry options to suit your needs. From small, delicate pieces that provide a subtle accompaniment to your look, to large stunning pendants that act as the centerpiece of your whole outfit, a Murano glass piece can be just what you need. Today’s Murano pieces are also available in every color of the rainbow, and many truly include so many colors that you can wear them with anything.

For a small piece of Murano glass jewelry, nothing works better than a ring. You can purchase these in smooth square tiles that incorporate a range of colors and patterns. Most include at least two or three stunning shades that make the tile like a miniature glass canvas displaying art worthy of admiration. Other Murano glass rings feature a collection of Murano glass beads. These small beads have been a staple of Murano jewelry designs for centuries. Today you can enjoy a whole cluster of the beads perched delicately upon your finger. Each bead is its own swirl of color and can feature a variety of patterns.

Necklaces and bracelets are a popular Murano glass jewelry option as well. These can feature a whole string of glass beads with similar designs, or a choice selection of delicate beads spaced out along a chain. The beads themselves needn’t conform to the traditional round idea of a glass bead. Rather, they can be found in floral or heart shapes, small squares and rectangles, smooth ovals and many other choices. Some feature a swirled feather-like design while others shimmer with embedded metals. Options for this type of Murano jewelry are vast from bright playful colors for casual wear to delicate formal options.

If you want to show off a truly eye-catching piece of Murano glass jewelry, selecting a pendant is always the best choice. Murano glass pendants are created with exquisite attention to detail and are at once recognizable as handmade pieces. Available shapes cover a vast range from hearts to dolphins and fish. Simple circular or square pendants are a popular choice as well. Colors can be a brilliant solid hue or a nearly hypnotic swirl of enchanting shades. Though considered too busy for some, millefiori Murano glass pendants are the height of intricate glass designs with their tiny detailed patterns.
