<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 60099, member: 201&quot;]Chinese sellers often call their glass beads &quot;Murano&quot; beads. </p><p><br /></p><p>They may actually use glass rods made in Murano to make them, so technically calling them &quot;Murano&quot; may be somewhat legit. But it&#039;s misleading, plus the quality isn&#039;t always as good as genuine Venetian/Murano items. And, of course, it&#039;s had a serious impact on the price and saleability of real Venetian beads.</p><p><br /></p><p>As someone who collected Venetian glass beads, used them in jewelry, and sold them, it bugs me to see the huge impact this has had. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
