At Milodina, each designer piece is an expression of rare craftsmanship and a passion shared between Paris and Murano. Conceived and designed by Michèle Richer, founder of the MILODINA brand, our jewelry is crafted in close collaboration with our Murano glass masters, whom we know personally. Together, we bring to life unique pieces, handcrafted on the island of Murano, near Venice.
A jewel at the crossroads of design and craftsmanship
Our jewelry pieces are high-end, elegant, original, and authentic. They combine the purity of contemporary French design with the age-old tradition of blown or flame-worked glass. Every detail is carefully considered, and each collaboration is the result of a dialogue between the designer and the artisan. Final assembly takes place in our workshop in the Yvelines department of the Île-de-France region. All our jewelry is delivered in a presentation box containing a certificate of authenticity, guaranteeing the glass originates directly from Murano.
How to recognize genuine Murano glass?
Authentic Murano glass has natural imperfections, such as small air bubbles or irregularities. Far from being flaws, these unique features are the hallmarks of handcrafted work. Further proof is a certificate of origin or the glassmaker's signature on some larger pieces. Murano glass represents both an ancient technique and a protected geographical area, synonymous with excellence.Unique and secret colors
The magic of Murano glass also lies in its inimitable colors. Each workshop carefully preserves its secret manufacturing formulas, passed down from generation to generation, to obtain these luminous and deep shades impossible to reproduce anywhere else in the world.
Expertise by the flame
Our designer jewelry is crafted using a torch, a delicate technique that allows us to create fine, light, and ethereal pieces. The glassblower works freehand, just millimeters from the heat, guided solely by their eye and experience. Blowing, pinching, stretching… Every gesture counts, all while respecting rapid execution times, because glass waits for no one! Each piece of jewelry is the result of several trials, prototypes, adjustments, and exchanges. Michèle Richer regularly travels to Murano to design new collections directly in the workshops, working hand in hand with the glassmakers.
