Many of the shops don't sell glass actually made on Murano - but De Biasi do. A welcome relief after the shops full of the same old tat, this lovely light, airy shop has an array of beautiful things, and I of course wanted them all. Service was attentive but not obtrusive, and I was so pleased when I made my purchase as the care and attention of the wrapping of my earrings was so classy. It was a little more expensive than some of the other places, but still I managed to get a pair of earrings for €12, so I can't complain!

LAGGIA in Venice is a tiny store next to Campo San Maurizio in the passageway when walking in the…read moredirection of San Marco square. It is easy to miss, but a highly recommended stop. Laggia is the store of Alfred Laggia the local Venetian designer who creates incredibly complex hand made intricate mesh jewellery pieces in his studio in Venice. He makes tiny delicate pieces as well as dramatic large pieces which were a favourite of Gianni Versace in his runway shows. Ask to see the amazing mesh head pieces. Sabrina Laggia (Alfredo's wife) works in the store and can also show you photographs of his larger scale works. Because it is such a tiny store it is easy to pass it by, assuming that it is part of all the usual tourist fare. I highly recommend that you go inside and look at the designs as they are quite incredible. I bought a neck piece and a cuff bracelet both of which are a bit grand for me, but so amazing that I'm sure I will wear them to a special event in the future. If the shop is closed go across the hall to the wine store which they also own and Sabrina will let you in.

I fell in love with this great jeweler while in Venice. They also have a location on Murano.

I'm overjoyed with all the pieces and am looking for ways to incorporate them into all my outfits. They offer all handmade glass pieces that can either accent your look or be a statement piece. Customer service is excellent and friendly. It's a perfect place for shopping for an item for yourself or a friend.

Great little jewelry/glass bead maker that we found while exploring the smaller streets of Venice…read more As we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly lady who encouraged us to look around using hand gestures (she did not speak a lick of English). She also invited us into the room where they made the beads! Two men were lampworking and attempted to speak to me in Italian. I must have registered a look of bewilderment, because the older man immediately said, "Ah" and motioned me to come sit next to him. For the next few minutes, he demonstrated how he made glass beads using different colored glass rods and gold foil. Watching the process made me appreciate their artistry even more. These men work so carefully and in such HOT conditions! I would liken it to me trying to write a report in a Bikram-yoga atmosphere. Skills definitely needed! Bear purchased a bracelet for me and I love it. Still kicking myself for not purchasing this gorgeous red and gold bead necklace that I was admiring...oh well, next time! This is a bare-bones establishment that isn't much to look at, but once you see their creations, you will be a believer. There is none of those high pressure sales tactics that some glass factories employ (Murano, I'm looking at you). There is great pride in the work they do, these are the real artists of Venice.

They are liars and scammers. Don't make my mistake, don't fall for their emotional manipulations…read more Their site says, shipping is free for purchases over 500 euros. But they wanted to charge me 399 euros for shipping an item that cost 929 euros until l reminded them of their free shipping policy for items of 500 euros or more. Then they did me the "favor" of free shipping. They also state on their website that you can pay with credit card or Paypal. But they told me my only option for payment was a bank transfer. I can only assume that if I'd paid with PayPal they'd actually be accountable for their lies. Now I have no recourse and they are ignoring me. When asked about tariffs they said they "word" the invoice in such way that tariffs would be minimal. They also lied about that. I paid $248 in tariffs. Complete lack of transparency by design. During the sale process, they kept communications only through email, despite my request to talk to them. But they initially wanted to charge me 250 euros for an intro call and I refused. That was a red flag but then came all the manipulations. Once I got the coral earrings, the color was not the "deep red" they'd stated and the gold claps is so small that I can hardly grab it to use it. I don't know how such a "luxury" items can have so little god that's not fully functionals. All in all such a bad experience, waste of money and time. Bad energy altogether. They are total frauds. Apparently generations of fraudsters.

SCAM ALERT!!!!!!! DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS STORE!!!!…read more(Please read all the reviews. They are really bad) The quality and service after you buy is terrible! They will not even honour the warranty they gave you in writing. I purchased a Maserati watch for $400 euros last year for my son. I broke and wa sunder warranty so I sent the store an email requesting another copy of their receipt( I showed them proof) or if they could assist by contacting their dealer for assistance. I received an acknowledgment and promises that they would contact the dealer and then no other communication even after I emailed them 3 more times. They just want to grab your money for the purchase and then leave you out in the dark afterward. Shame on the store and it owner for not caring to help.

I was expecting things in the shop to be overpriced as it is located so near the stop. But I was wrong. A crescent moon and stars ring caught my attention. I bought it for €7.50 which was a good price. Apart from glasswares, they also sell postcards, magnets, keyrings and etc. The lady who served me was very friendly and helpful though she did not speak English. I really like little arts/crafts shops. I will return to the shop in next trip. Someday I will find my Star.
