Excuse me...but is that a Murano you're wearing?

Today I added a new item to my laundry list of must have's.  A co-worker showed me a beautiful ring she purchased that is made completely of glass or otherwise known as "Murano rings".  The artistry of glass making originated in Murano, Italy a small island NW of Venice in the 13th century. Through refined technique Murano aritisans for centuries were known as the inspiration behind crafting beautiful glass into art.
Today, it's an artistic display of exceptional craftmanship and intricate yet delicate sophistication.  Talk about a conversation piece.  Depending on the style, size and color it could easily transcend into ones' weardrobe as an oversized cocktail ring, modern day hardwear, or a funky yet chic weekend piece.  They come in a variety of colours and techniques and would make wonderful Christmas presents for all ages and the price ain't bad either.
