The history of Venetian jewellery is lost in time. In the heyday of the Serenissima, Venetian goldsmiths, heirs to the Roman tradition, travelled to the East with great frequency, bringing back immense craftsmanship. Venetian goldsmiths, like many craftsmen or categories of trades, over time became institutionalised in schools of trades. The scuola degli orafi, scuola degli oresi in Venetian dialect, was the association of Venetian goldsmiths devoted to St Anthony Abbot.&nbsp; The famous 22-carat Manin gold necklaces that belonged to the Dogaresses and noblewomen were the work of these craftsmen. These necklaces were exported everywhere. The famous Venetian Moretti, amulets depicting Moorish pirates in gold, gems and ebony, were also made by the same craftsmen. Another peculiarity of the lagoon goldsmith's art was the rosetta pearls, glass beads made in Murano.
