Murano Glass Pendant - Beautiful Glass Pendant From Italy

In my book the Murano glass pendant is LBD approved. What is an LBD you ask? Little black dress of course! That little black dress that you have in your closest if your closest friend and standby when you are wanting to look pretty and thin but what are you going to do to make it not look so boring and lifeless? Getting a Murano glass pendant can be a great option. Not only will you have something to liven up the outfit since you will have a colorful accessory but you will also have a great conversation piece.

If you are going to wear a Murano glass pendant then I recommend that you learn the story behind this beautiful work of art. The people in Venice were the first people that were able to make a mirror and they found this out while experimenting with glass blowing. Once they got into glass making they couldn't stop because of their deep love for this art. Because of this fact we have the Murano glass pendant. Just imagine making one of these pieces. These people have to find the glass that will allow the longest time in between hardening so that they can make a shape that they are wanting. Sometimes they even allow precious metals like gold and silver into their beautiful designs.

These glass makers were forced to leave Venice and move to Murano because they higher ups in the city were afraid the glass makers may accidentally set the almost entirely wood city on fire. Murano then became a popular city of trade and this is why there are some Asian and Muslim influences in the Murano glass industry.
