This lovely Murano Glass style pair of earrings has a twisted clear body with a black edging, and a large black ball at the base.
These are all handmade (not by me!), so although there are many 'duplicate' sets, they are all, by the nature of being handmade, slightly different from each other, and that is why, all the sets available, are list seperately.
The measurement of the actual glass piece is approx. 2.9cm/1.1" The earrings are hung on a pair of my handmade earwires, but they can be swapped to shop bought studs if you would prefer them to be, (no extra cost incurred) please just message me and I will be happy to do it.
The earrings are presented wrapped in lilac tissue paper and placed in a pretty organza drawstring bag.
Black Edged Twist Earrings
As I purchased my items from a designer in the USA I felt it only right to add the word (Style) so as to not mislead anyone, by allowing them to think I had purchased them in Italy. Please see the history of Murano Glass section below.
All the items in the collection are GLASS and are therefore more delicate than 'normal' jewellery, extra care should be taken in their handling to make sure nothing breaks. Refunds will only be given, for breakages during transport. If something should happen in transit (I will ensure they are well protected) please send photographs of the item with all its original packaging.
For your information this is the history of Murano Glass.
Murano Glass
Murano glass is glass made on the Venetian island of Murano, which has specialized in fancy glasswares for centuries. Murano’s glassmakers led Europe for centuries, developing or refining many technologies including crystalline glass, enamelled glass, glass with threads of gold, multicoloured glass, milk glass, and imitation gemstones made of glass. Today, the artisans of Murano are still employing these centuries-old techniques, crafting everything from contemporary art glass and glass figurines to Murano glass chandeliers and wine stoppers, as well as tourist souvenirs. Today, Murano is home to a vast number of factories and a few individual artists' studios making all manner of glass objects from mass marketed stemware to original sculpture. The Museo del Vetro in the Palazzo Giustinian houses displays on the history of glassmaking as well as glass samples ranging from Egyptian times through the present day. Almost anywhere you go in Italy you can find Murano glass, especially in Venice.
