| Hello, I am Susan Holland, of Houston, Texas,
and together with my husband, Phillip, we have been importing
and selling handmade Venetian glass beads and Venetian bead (Murano
glass) jewelry continuously since 1976.
From the many designs we carry, we have selected
some of our most beautiful Murano glass bead necklaces. The Murano,
glass beads that comprise these designs are "lampwork'' beads;
which simply means they are glass beads, handmade, one-by-one
in the flame.
Phillip and I are actually both graduate gemologists,
having earned our diplomas at the Gemological Institute of America.
While we have long been enamored by the scintillation of a diamond
and the chrome induced colors of ruby and emerald, our attention
has been held, these thirty-three years, by the romance of Venetian
glass beads and the stunning fashion accessories they become.

Susan in Venice |
| During the past thirty-three years
we have travelled to Venice, at least, thirty five times. We have participated
in hundreds of jewelry and bead shows across the United States,
and shipped mail orders for fifteen years.
Did we help start America's bead revolution?
Yes, We know we did.
With our eye for beautiful Venetian glass bead
jewelry, we will always endeavor to fill your orders with our
finest quality Venetian beads at our lowest direct import prices
from Venice, Italy.
