Hi everyone,
I live in Korea and I want to make a shopping website here for rings made of glass, resins, plastics, woods, etc.
I'm going to Milan next month to see a costume jewelry show (chibidue) and I have to decide whether I'll make the trip to Murano.
My question is: do you think Murano is the right place to buy Murano rings wholesale or is it only for tourists? I won't have much time to stay in Italy, so I'm wondering if spending more time in Milan would make more sense.
I hope someone can give me some advice.
Thanks :D

If you are in Milan, try Macef, they have many shows, and should have what you are looking for.

thanks Fossilfly,
Unfortunately, I'll be in Milan in May for that show "Chibidue" I told you about, whereas Macef is in September.
I think I'll stick to Milan because I guess there has to be wholesalers there dealing in glass and other material rings. I'll push to Murano only if I'm not satisfied with what I'll have found in Milan. I have this feeling that Murano being such a tourist spot, it must be hard to negociate a good deal there. Maybe I'm wrong.
