A Preciosa Crystal Extravaganza

We love Preciosa Crystal- its good quality, great value and wide range of colors gives a great affordable alternative to the other leading brand.  But they are no newbies when it comes to bead manufacturing…in fact, the Bohemian region of the Czech Republic have been making glass and crystal for hundreds of years!

Here is a little bit more info about Preciosa Genuine Crystal if you needed a little more encouragement, taken from their website www.preciosa.com:

Nacre Pearls

Preciosa Nacre Pearls are a superb imitation of natural or cultivated pearls. They have a crystal ball core which has several coats of nacre applied, using a technology that is very similar to the natural production of pearls. Our Nacre Pearls have a gloss on them which makes them indistinguishable from genuine pearls. They are also highly resistant to abrasion, UV radiation, and to alcohol-based perfumes. Our pearls are available loose or in strands.
The production of CRYSTAL NACRE PEARLS by Preciosa involves environment-friendly methods and work procedures that are in accordance with European Community regulations.

Beads and Pendants

The Round Beads and Rondelles are the most demanded items with a hole. The main offer is complemented with a line of interesting bead and pendant shapes that can be combined in an endless number of variations. Our beads and pendants can be used for the production of fashion jewellery as well as of other trendy items such as accessories, apparel decorations, embroidery etc.

MC Beads
Preciosa Machine Cut Beads are precisely cut. Their durability and perfection of cut assure jewellery manufacturers that the crystal will not wear down or lose its brilliance. Our exclusive colour selection of assorted red shades is one of the largest in the marketplace. MC Beads have multiple uses. They can be used in jewellery production by stringing them or in the clothing industry by sewing them on. They are also ideal for hobby and craft enthusiasts.
