Antonio Vaccari Murano Glass Jewellery

Since the 19th century, the Vaccari family's imagination has been fuelled with a light as ancient as Venice. The source of this light is their knowledge of "lavorazione a lume", or glass lampworking, a tradition as warm as fire and primordial as colour, turning Murano glass canes into beautiful jewellery made of Venetian beads. Augusto Vaccari and his son Antonio were the importers of this tradition into modern times, introducing their lampwork glass creations into France and England and for the first time, Vaccari's creations became famous outside of Venice. Their Venetian beads were inspired by golden colors of the Byzantine era: shiny mosaic beads, pieces of art overflowing with gold, silver and murrina patterns. Giorgio Vaccari and his son Federico, who arrived to the fourth generation, continue to protect the unique features of the production of pearls.making, still trusting the expert hands of traditional craftswomen to guard the secrets of these magical creations of Venetian beads and preserve the art of yesterday.
