Hello lovely there’s a reason you find them with Czech glass, for centuries Murano glass was sent to Bohemia to be fire finished.The Miotto family was only family to make Aventurine glass until the secrets were released in the early 1900’s. Your first beads are lovely 😊

Thank you for creating this video--i feel like I came away KNOWING something. Great starting point for those beginning to get into glass beads. I've had some glass beads in my possession for years. Now, I know where they're from thanks to you. I also appreciated your sharing the books that have helped you on your journey. Bravo!

I feel your pain on the misinformation of the glass beads ugh. I so wish I could send article screenshots to comments. Venetian glass is Glass within glass. And it's my favorite thing other than my addiction to jewelry. I collect statues of Venetian glass that I actually traveled over seas to aquire. I could show you examples of Wedding Cake beads where every detail you've just touched on isn't on the outside of the bead it's inside the bead. Murano beads are glass applied to/on glass. Venetian is art within glass. Murano and Venetian are two totally different techniques. True Venetian is absolutely stunning. I'm not even bringing up Lampwork beading. It's beautiful but also different entirely.

Your white beads are really beautiful and the detail magnificent. Thank you for this video. I recently acquired a light blue wedding cake necklace and every bead is different, unfortunately one of the beads was broken and has a hole in it but very interesting to see inside and the glass swirl where it was wound around the copper pin. Just beautifully made. I’ve restrung the necklace minus the broken bead and it’s lovely. I think I could get addicted to these beads.❤

Two blue beads are also a wedding cake. Two weeks ago I saw a necklace made of them in an antique store in Florence. This is very expensive copper sulfate glass. Made in the 40s, assembled from large in the middle to smallest at the edges with a brass lock. Their price was 120 euros
@Hannah-FleursDeMontagne
@Hannah-FleursDeMontagne 3 месяца назад
Thanks so much for the info, I didn’t know copper sulfate was used in glass! The Murano glass beads, they always are very saturated colors. Those 2 blue beads I showed are not Murano but are in the wedding cake style, the colors are not as vibrant and the craftsmanship is not the same. Thanks so much for watching!

The Master Glassman were never allowed to leave Venice because of the secrets of their sand blends to make the glass!! Lived and died there, went to their graves with the secrets of their sand blends, past on to 1 or 2 family members.

Glassmakers from Aquileia, Italy , 1 500 years ago , 9th century, moved out to the islands that were built up to become Venice. Murano is a city where the handmade Glass has made, then sent out to other cities in Venice. The Byzantium and Middle East Master Glassman came to Venice around the 1,500 years ago time.

@Hannah-FleursDeMontagne 6 месяцев назад
Thank you Kiki! For any beads that are not painted/have a thin coating of some kind I soak in a dishwasher tab which will eat away at most debris, if they are really dirty I use a soft toothbrush to scrub them. I have accidentally soaked coated faux pearls and it takes the coating right off! For example the gold painted beads I would never soak or scrub.

@@Hannah-FleursDeMontagne Thank you so much. Another question, do you see antique Italian glass necklaces often have silver finding? Or these silver findings (e.g, clasps) may be added when they were restrung at a layer time? I often saw antique Murano necklaces only with brass findings. Not sure if using silver was common back in the days. Thank you again.
@Hannah-FleursDeMontagne
@Hannah-FleursDeMontagne 6 месяцев назад
@@PrettyHotDress to clarify, I dissolved the dishwasher tab in water, I have a video “Clean My Antique jewelry with Me” showing how I use this method with other pieces as well. I have seen antique pieces with silver tone findings, not really sterling findings. Yes mostly you find them with brass or gold tone findings, and it can make things more difficult to date when necklaces are often restrung and may have newer findings.

Thanks for the lesson on Murano Wedding Cake glass beads. Those tips are very helpful to confirm authenticity of Murano beads. Quick question… how is it that you can identify the small clear spacer beads and the black elongated beads as Czech beads. I’m confused why the Murano Italian glass makers wouldn’t use ALL of their own beads on their necklaces. Great information. Thanks for sharing.
@Hannah-FleursDeMontagne
@Hannah-FleursDeMontagne 10 месяцев назад
Good question, I was told the Czech/Bohemia glass makers would fire finish the Venetian beads for them and I’m sure they traded or bought beads and made things with both types of beads. Czech made a lot of pressed molded glass and in those styles in the video, I don’t think the Venetian did beads like that. And you are very welcome :)

@Hannah-FleursDeMontagne
@Hannah-FleursDeMontagne Год назад
There are some flat wedding cake beads I’ve seen but the biggest clue is the bead holes. Do they have white residue around the inside? If so not Murano. Thank you so much for watching!
@maggiebannenberkowitz9254
@maggiebannenberkowitz9254 Год назад
If it has white inside the bead hole, it was not cleaned out correctly.

@JewelsNcrime
@JewelsNcrime Год назад
I no longer trust it unless from an authorized dealer or direct factory because I can't tell the difference between high quality craftsmanship vs actual Murano. Nowadays nearly every glass is being called Murano it's no longer a brand but more of a style.
@Hannah-FleursDeMontagne
@Hannah-FleursDeMontagne Год назад
You are so right! It can be very difficult especially online when you cant feel the beads and see the bead hole. I didn’t even talk about the modern bead makers like the Chinese, they make so many imitations and they do sometimes call it “murano” when it’s not.
