Comments for Everything About Venice and Murano Glass http://blog.glassofvenice.com Facts, comments, news, and advice from GlassOfVenice.com Thu, 24 Jun 2010 20:23:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 Comment on New Murano glass jewelry on GlassOfVenice.com by GlassOfVenice http://blog.glassofvenice.com/2010/02/new-murano-glass-jewelry-on-glassofvenice-com/comment-page-1/#comment-17 GlassOfVenice Thu, 24 Jun 2010 20:23:50 +0000 http://blog.glassofvenice.com/?p=25#comment-17 Dear Reader, No, we don't have a store in Venice. We are a U.S.-based company selling solely online. We import all of our products from Venice, Italy. Each item we sell is an authentic piece of Murano glass produced according to the ancient traditions, and a certificate of authenticity comes with every product. We offer the widest range of Millefiori pendants that you can possibly find anywhere, including Venice itself. We make professional photos of each Millefiori pendant to ensure that what you see all the detail and that what you see is exactly what you get. We hope you have an enjoyable trip to our favorite city. While there, you will undoubtedly want to shop for Murano glass. Our advice is please be careful who you buy from and especially cautious if you decide to ship anything back to your home country. Buy only from reputable stores with good customer service, those in central locations that offer art glass and chandeliers along with small jewelry pieces are often more reliable. Make sure to ask for receipts listing the store name, telephone and fax number and the salesperson's name. Ask in details about their shipping methods and times, the carrier they use, and what happens if the items break in transit. Check out their prices and evaluate against ours. You will find that our prices are often below those in Venice (think about the overhead and costs of maintaining a store in Venice where real estate is expensive, floods are frequent and costly, and all deliveries have to be made by water). And if you do forget to buy a gift for yourself or someone special while in Venice (as it often happens with our clients given so many sights and things to do in Venice and so little time), please come back to our virtual store where you can find authentic Murano glass jewelry and accessories for every taste and at reasonable prices.

We don't sell beads - only finished jewelry pieces. We believe that offering original designs created by Murano masters benefits our clients and allows them to enjoy centuries of the artisans' artistic and technical experience. We seek the very best of everything Murano artisans create (a hard job!) and offer that at the best value to our clients worldwide. Dear Mary
