Jewelry from Murano, Italy

About two years ago, I had the opportunity to go to Italy. I not only visited Venice for the first time, but also went to the world famous glass making Murano island. I want to share with you some of the pictures that I took there, especially some of the beautiful jewelry they produce on the island. If you are interested in reading about some historical background about Murano and its glass making history, please check out the links below:
