Hello all,
I'm dithering here, and would like some advice. As eBid is filling up, I went to see if anyone was selling Venetian Murano components. No one yet, but I was irritated to find a huge list of jewellery sellers describing their Indian, Chinese and Peruvian glass jewellery as Murano.
There are a couple of sellers selling genuine Murano, and at least one honest seller who describes her glasswork as 'Murano Style'. I feel the fakers, albeit often adding 'Murano' out of ignorance, should be forced to revise their descriptions with the suffix 'Style', because they are devaluing the real stuff, and making eBid no better than the Other Place.
Sorry, but this really annoys me - I can't afford genuine Murano components very often, and to list something I've made with it would be pointless at the moment - it would be buried in the list of pretty, but not genuine, jewellery.
Your thoughts appreciated ...
Cru
