How can I tell if my Murano beads are real?
To tell if your Murano beads are real, search for the maker's hallmark. Then, research whether that particular maker is from Murano, Italy, and compare the markings shown in images of authentic pieces shared by trusted online resources with what's on your glass beads. Because there are many convincing fakes on the market, experts recommend consulting a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable dealer for assistance with authentication. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Murano glass.
