Subscribe to Trollbeads BlogNo. Murano glass can only come from the tiny Italian island of Murano in the bay of Venice, and no Trollbeads are made on the island of Murano. Trollbeads believes in being honest with collectors, and we feel that to call them Murano glass charm beads would be wrong as they are made elsewhere. It is true to say that Trollbeads are made of the best quality Italian glass.
We're aware of people using the word Murano to describe the quality of glass, but to our mind this would be like saying that you were drinking Champagne that wasn't from the Champagne region. Murano has become a watch-word for quality due to the extraordinary skill base that has developed and been passed down through generations of glass makers over the centuries on the island of Murano and is still extraordinary today.
