Lonely Planet review for Gloria Astolfo

Take your fashion cues from Venetian painting masterpieces at this Venetian bead artisan’s showcase. Garlands of beaded tiger lilies make open-necked T-shirts instantly glamorous, and those baroque pearl earrings would gently tickle your shoulders if you started to nod off at La Fenice. Prices starting at €35 are surprisingly down-to-earth for jewellery this original, especially so close to Piazza San Marco.

    Unique handmade jewelry full of style & elegance

    lindafk recommends this,

    A Venetian designer makes these amazing and beautiful handmade jewellery using Swarovski crystals, beads, fabric, pearls and glass. Each piece is unique, although occasionally you might be lucky and find something in a couple of colours. I tried the crystal choker and matching bracelet and fell in utter love with them. Gorgeous and elegant jewellery for the stylist ladies. I felt if you wear one piece of the jewellery you actually don't need to wear any other piece as it becomes a signature look for you, really. The colours and design speak of Venetian past with a modern funk, and of course you have to pay a bit of price for them. They aren't cheap. It's tax free shopping in Venice so you can get a few pennies back. But it's worth it. You can keep them for a long time as they are timeless in my opinion. The website unfortunately is not functioning except just the one page. You won't get these jewellery anywhere else in Italy or world so please if you like any, don't think twice and treat yourself or your special one.
