HISTORY OF CZECH CRYSTAL:
The Preciosa brand name was first registered in Bohemia in 1915, but the
history of glassmaking in Jablonec region has been traced back to the
14th century.
In 1711 the Fisher brothers brought the secrets of crystal cutting and
polishing to North Bohemia. In 1724, the first factory specialising in
the manufacturing and export of crystal chandeliers was established in
Prechen near KamenickÀù `enov. Bohemian chandeliers were ordered for the
Royal Courts - Versailles and Fontainebleu palaces of Louis XV, Sultan
Osman III of the Ottoman Empire, and Empress Elizabeth of Russia. In 1945 several makers merged, forming the Preciosa company, one being the original maker from 1724!
"Making good jewellery is made up of three basics...good materials, good tools, and good techniques."
