Murano Glass masters use lampworking technique of glass-making, which dates back to ancient Egypt, to create colorful Murano Glass rings, earrings, necklaces and other jewelry pieces. This technique is based on heating up a blob of glass under a small flame from a lamp or a torch until it reaches malleable state, then blowing and using simple tools or just hands to create various forms and designs. Creating Murano Glass rings in this fashion allows the artisan's creativity to blossom, as copper sparkles, various minerals, and pieces of glass cane are fused together in this process to create rich colors and imaginative patterns that are always unique.
