Necklace Murano Glass Mexico

People travelling through Mexico immediately realize the Mexicans’ passion for bright colours. Every other place, you see facades painted in bright blue, flaming red, deep green and shining yellow and the jewellery and clothes also reflect the people’s passion for bright colours. Mexico is colourful and therefore lends its name to these multi-coloured jewellery pieces. They are ideal for a (colourful) accentuated appearance.

In Pforzheim, they draw the colourful Murano glass beads (Ø 14 mm) on jewellery wire. The necklace and bracelet of the series close via two matted, gold-plated silver rings (925 sterling silver), one of which can be opened. The rings match up, so you can extend the necklace with the bracelet to an extra-long collier.

The lagoon isle of Murano off the coast of Venice is still an important production site for precious glass. This is where the gaffers create these dazzlingly coloured glass beads in the best craftsmanship tradition. The Pforzheim jewellery workshop combines them with small, high-quality clasps, resulting in this unique Murano jewellery. The beads get their shape, colour and beauty in the blazing heat of the glass blowing workshop. The resulting glass is almost unbreakable thanks to a very high component of aluminium oxide. The workshops involved in the production will not release any further information about the composition of the raw materials and the colour formulas. However, we can explain the typical shimmer: After separating the raw bead from the glass rod, the gaffer puts a fine layer of gold or silver foil on the bead’s surface and then covers the foil with another layer of clear or coloured glass.
