Marina e Susanna Sent Studio

Murano, Burano & the Northern Islands


This striking space dedicated to the work of the pioneering Sent sisters is as sleek as their jewellery: white walls and huge picture windows flood the room with light, setting their signature bubble necklaces ablaze. The collection is displayed in colour groups and neatly stashed in drawers. Other shops can be found in Dorsoduro, San Polo and San Marco.
