Perlamadredesign — Local services in Venice

I found this Glass Maker Simona on Instagram. @perlamadre_design Her colors are so delicate and light, Her beadwork is beautiful. When I saw this Brooch That invokes the lamps of Venice, to be worn as a brooch and lit like a candle with gel wax, so as to light your path along the dim narrow alley ways of Venice-Italy, I knew I had to have it! I ordered this lamp brooch and they shipped it UPS secure within a week. Great business communication and beautiful designs. I will surely visit when I can get to Venice but for now, I can still buy her designs until I can visit in person. She holds classes on LampWork...

We were window shopping and came upon Simona's shop. One of the pendants caught my wife's eye. We went in to the shop. Simona was very gracious, showing us several of her designs. When we asked how they were made she happily demonstrated the "sommerso" technique and created a pendant while we watched. It was fascinating. This was definitely a great find and we would highly recommend it when you are...

I fell in love with Simona's use of the "sommerso" Murano glass technique when visiting Venice. I ended up commissioning other pieces for her as a gift to my mom, to be shipped to the USA. The pieces arrived quickly, and are absolutely stunning! Can't wait to get lots of wear out of the necklace and earring set, which make for unique statement pieces. Thank...
