Venetian Glass - Staying Fashionable and Trendy for 800 years


Fashions come and Fashions go, very few trends stand the test of time. Gold ornaments and jewelry encased gemstones were as trendy and fashionable in ancient times as they are today, much of their attraction derives from the value of the materials they are made from. But there are some things, made from simple, humble materials, that stand the test of time due to the high quality and uniqueness of the craftsmanship that goes into their making. Venetian glass, and Venetian glass jewelry fall into this category. Using just sand, soda ash, and the odd bit of metal oxides to add a splash of color, Venice's glass workers have been making fashionable glass wares for hundreds of years.


There are four types of fashion jewelry that you can wear to complement your physical attributes. The necklaces are the most common type of designers jewelry. They can be good at changing people�s perception when it comes to your height. If you want to appear taller, choose longer necklaces.One of these attractions of Patiala is the Moti Bagh Palace. This palace was built in 19th century. This was made because of Shalimar Gardens of Lahore. The structure was from that place. As of the present, it houses the most known sports and art gallery. This gallery is called the National Institute of Sports and Art Gallery.One of the best known styles of Venetian glass jewelry is Millefiori, which means 'a thousand flowers' in Italian. The style in its classic presentation is characterized by small colorful flower petal patterns embedded into the glass in circular arrangements. Disks of Millefiore patterned glass are often fashioned into necklace pendants, and they are as fashionable today as they were centuries ago.It's not just Venetian glass Jewelry that has stood the test of time, Venetian glass ornaments have continually evolved to follow fashion trends.

And so the story continues, with modern day Venice lampworkers who continue to produce picture frames designed for modern photo formats and with contemporary designs that are every bit as popular as they have ever been.There is a saying that quality never goes out of style. The enduring popularity of Venetian glass ornaments and Venetian glass jewelry is a proof that the saying is true.
