Lesbos is a rainbow-colored Murano charm.

The Greek island of Lesbos is one of the larger Greek holiday islands with an area of 1630 km2 and with about 90,000 inhabitants. The word lesbian comes from the island’s name. The word came about because of the female poet Sapfo (born in Eressos on Lesbos around 630 BC), who describes and celebrates the love between women in poems. The town of Eressos is a popular resort and the island has a great focus on the lesbian community. This charm has a Sterling silver 925 core.

Melina collects the original Murano glass on the Murano islands and ships it to the workshop in Copenhagen. At the workshop, she uses the glass to create tiny Murano charm art. Every bead is handmade and unique.

Murano glass is made on the Murano islands. The Murano islands consist of 7 islands and are located about 1,5 km from Venice. Murano is known for its glass factory, which opened in the 1200-century. The production was moved from Venice because of fire hazards.
