Paxos
€36.00
Paxos is a deep blue and green Murano charm.
This charm has a Sterling silver 925 core.
We collect the original Murano glass on the Murano islands and ship it to our workshop in Copenhagen. At the workshop, we use the glass to create tiny Murano charm art. Every bead is handmade and unique.
Murano glass is made on the Murano islands. The Murano islands consist of 7 islands and are located about 1,5 km from Venice. Murano is known for its glass factory, which opened in the 1200-century. The production was moved from Venice because of fire hazards.
Description
Paxos
Paxos is a small part of the Ionian Islands. The Greek island is approximately 25 km2 and has about 2,300 inhabitants. Next to Paxos lies the island of Antipaxos, a small island of 5km2 with only 20 inhabitants. Antipaxos is covered in vineyards. In Greek mythology, Poseidon created Paxos by beating Corfu with his wooden fork so he and his wife Amphitrite could have peace and quiet.
Glass is a great material. Essential in the process of beadmaking is the mandrel. The mandrel is a metal rod that is made to withstand the amount of heat needed to form the glass into beads. Along with the mandrel, a heat source helps create the molten glass and to aid in the formation of the glass around the mandrel. Each and every Murano glass design is handcrafted over open fire and Melina uses genuine Murano glass only.
Original Melina designs all have the brand name and logo Melina on one side and the silver stamp 925 on the other side.
