In Italy there are different traditions: one of these is the production of Murano glass. A material that has been repeatedly used to make jewelry. So if you love Venice, worship the glass and you like large rings, you can take a look at the jewels of LeConterie. The name needs an explanation: the beads are made with Venetian glass, colored, pull rods more or less subtle, solid or perforated. According to legend, the production of glass beads in Venice began with the return of Marco Polo from the East. Generations of craftsmen have been handed down the not simple technique. Once made, glass beads in past were transported in large straw baskets and delivered to women, that inserted the little pieces to make necklaces, trimmings or jewelry. End of explanation.
LeConterie is, therefore, a new brand of Murano glass jewelry handcrafted: no piece is completely the same. In these pages you see rings: they are created according to the age-old tradition by the masters of the Glass School Abate Zanetti, an institution that dates back to 1862, when it was founded by Abbot Vincenzo Zanetti with the intent to bring the style and the design in the production of Murano.
