I recently attended a party in Venice that’s been going for more than 500 years. The Regata Storica started in 1489 when the beautiful Caterina Cornaro, wife of the King of Cyprus, renounced her Cypriot throne in favor of Venice. The people of Venice welcomed her with a parade of gondolas decorated in a rainbow of eyepopping colors. Every year since, the spirit of 1489 is recaptured in Venice’s world-famous canals when the famous Regata is repeated.
Our Cornaro Bracelet is the essence of Venice, with the revelry of the Regata channeled into one perfect piece of jewelry. The array of colors recalls the Regata itself, and the authentic Murano glass is as historic and charming as the gondolas of Venice.
Because of the Regata, I’m now a regular visitor to Venice. Through my travels, I’ve made some great contacts, which is how I’m able to negotiate the best possible price on the highest-quality Murano glass available. And now I’m excited to offer Stauer customers the chance to share in the spirit of the Regata. Wearing the Cornaro Bracelet is the next best thing to gliding through ancient canals in a gondola, adding a brightly colored air of sophistication to your day.
