STORY: 

Bohemia, now part of the Czech Republic, played a significant role in the history of glass costume jewellery. It was in Gablonz, that jeweller Daniel Swarovski introduced the first cut glass crystal to imitate the look of diamonds. These earrings are a nod to the craftmanship of these glass makers.
