Feminine, artistic, and stunningly beautiful, this Murano Glass Ring was crafted by skilled artisans on Murano Island in Venice, the place where the knowledge of ancient Romans and Byzantine artisans merged to evolve into the legendary glass-making tradition that continues to this day. The ring boasts deep colors in the classic shades of black and gold and unusual lava-like pattern set against genuine 24K gold foil inlay to create shimmer and play of light characteristic of Murano Glass creations. This ring adds a rich Venetian touch to your outfit and lets you show off your style and appreciation of Italian artisan tradition.
The ring's central bead measures 3/4 x 3/4 inches, and the band easily adjusts to fit any finger size. The ring comes with an attractive velvet pouch and a certificate of authenticity.
Because each Murano Glass piece is a unique work of art made by hand and due to the technique used to create this ring, some variations of colors and patterns as well as random Millefiori inclusions occur. These variances constitute a characteristic feature of authentic Murano Glass.
Lampworking technique of glass-making, which dates back to ancient Egypt, was revived by Murano glass artisans around the fourteenth century. 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. Lampworking 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. Murano Glass masters often use lampworking method to create small jewelry, such as pendants, earrings, or rings, as well as keychains, barrettes, pillboxes, and figurines.
