At last, the Genuine, Venetian Murano Glass Beads are here: http://www.sand-stones.co.uk/venetian-murano-glass-beads-c-172.html we've just started uploading them and more will follow so please keep checking back if you don't see what you're after at first.
These beads are produced in an Italian family-run factory, using ancient 'maestri vetrai' techniques and are gorgeous beyond belief!
Here is the link to a really interesting page that describes the history of Murano Glass over the last 1000 years or so!! http://www.doge.it/murano/muranoi.htm
And for those that may be interested, there are also some ripping historical novels that focus on the subject and can be found here: http://www.petanpublishing.co.uk/
