Ikaria is named after Ikaros. Ikaros sat trapped with his father Daidalos in Knossos in Crete. Daidalos made wings for himself and Ikaros, for the escape from Knossos. Ikaros flew too close to the sun, crashed into the sea and died. He landed on Ikaria. 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. Show more
