Samos is a green Murano charm with blue flowers.

Samos is a Greek island of about 477 km2. The island has about 33,000 inhabitants. The Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras, the philosopher Epicurus and the astronomer Aristarchus of Samos were born on Samos. On Samos are Pythagoreion and Heraion of Samos, both of which are on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.

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.
