Blue skies ahead

Original Murano Glass

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that seeks to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity.

The world’s diverse cultural and natural heritage are irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration. And, celebrating that is especially meaningful now. We are proud to share that the legendary art form of Murano has made the coveted Unesco World Heritage List. This centuries old glass artistry shares the honor with places like the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Baroque cathedrals of Latin America. 

Italy’s world-renowned art form is celebrated in the exquisite Murano jewelry you see here. The delicate and intricate beads are created using the “lume” technique–– a technique highlighted by UNESCO where each bead is individually formed, resulting in one-of-a-kind glass pearls. 

The name of this bracelet– “Cielo Blu” –– captures not only the sun-filled blue skies of Italy, but the optimism of a bright future for an art form that continues to shine despite challenging times. Know that with every piece of Murano you purchase from Stauer, you are supporting the valuable and historical legacy of Murano glass and the talented artisans who create it.
