I used the Murano-Colonna vaporetto stop last year. From that stop most of the shops are to the right, and that’s the direction most of the other passengers will go. I enjoyed browsing in two shops to the left of the vaporetto stop. Ferro Toso is a tiny place selling very inexpensive jewelry, mostly single-pendant necklaces. The youngish owner won’t pressure you to buy anything. This is not the place to look for statement jewelry, but I thought the pieces were amoing the most attractive I saw in the under-€15 price range. You don’t get sturdy metal jewelry at the low end of the price scale no matter where you shop, but the pieces here were definitely sturdier than most in their price range.

A little farther along is one of several stores in Venice run by Marina and Susanna Sent; I believe it’s the largest of their shops. At least some of the goods-perhaps all-are their own designs. They have lovely glass jewelry and some other glass items. They aren’t pushy. The quality here is good.

Elsewhere on Murano there are dozens of shops. The largest concentration is along the canal near the Colonna vaporetto stop. The left side of the canal is Fondamenta del Vetrai; the right side is Fondametra Manin.

One assumes there’s some counterfeit (imported) glass masquerading as Venetian, though in theory you should be able to trust the labels. I think some shops sell a mixture, with Venice labels prominently displayed (quite possibly legitimately) on some items in the hopes that customers will assume everything in the shop is locally made.

I think it’s risky to spend not much time looking around before buying something other than an inexpensive trinket. Looking at a lot of pieces is helpful in identifying quality items. It also gives you an opportunity to spot what looks like the same not-cheap item in a bunch of different shops (probably not the purchase you want to make).

I’d be reluctant to buy something of consequence from a shop also showing really cheap jewelry. A serious glass showroom probably isn’t going to bother with €5 trinkets-or with heavy, clunky-looking drinking glasses. Those clunky glasses are one of the things I was really suspicious about last year, though I guess they may be blown in Venice by apprentices.
