Crystal Beauty & Pure Elegance

A S Y M PHON Y OF C RY S T A L

Nestled amongst the picturesque valleys of the 14th century Jizera mountains, the small glow from a lonely craftsman’s kiln lights up the bitter cold of one late winter‘s night. Labouring tirelessly over his hot fire, he meticulously mixes, melts, shapes, and polishes, paying critical attention to every note, every nuance. The result is a sparkling symphony of crystal and light, whose elegant melody has since become one of the Czech Republic’s longest and finest traditions. To this day crystal’s natural sparkle captures the imagination of novices and discerning connoisseurs alike. And, like a true masterpiece, it holds the mysteries of century-old traditions while it’s simple natural beauty enchants and transcends generations, cultures and time.

Our desire to adorn and decorate is as old as humanity itself. To be unique, distinct, elegant, and attract attention has no political boundaries, no cultural barriers, and is not gender-specific. It transcends time and generations, and speaks a language that is universally understood throughout the world.

PRECIOSA plays to this tune, adding in quality and original design to what we know best – creating a symphony with the magical sparkle of crystal. The result is stylish, naturally elegant, and also transcends time and generations.

The birth of a new crystal figurine or piece of jewellery is not unlike the creation of a new being, or an artistic masterpiece. It begins with a love affair: the artist’s undying adoration of the purity and beauty of crystal, an enchanting and captivating master. Starting in the deep wells of creation, the artist captures the essence of the initial inspiration. The idea begins to take shape and gain momentum as it rises through the development and modeling process, gradually takes on its physical form,and finally crescendos in an exalted/ultimate rapture of fine crystal elegance.
