Preciosa

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’s 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.

	The Inspiration The kiss of the muse: the first flash of insight
The Sketch  The first notes of the masterpiece are recorded, as ink meets paper
	The Plaster Model   A palpable hint of the beauty to come
The CAD Model  An image comes to light, in modern prose
	Production  The masterpiece takes on its physical shape, and piece by piece the promise of a new life form begins to crystallize
Cutting and Polishing  The addition of facets, carefully and precisely positioned, transforms the unshapely into an endlessly sparkling rainbow of light
	Assembly by Hand  Individual pieces come together with careful fine-tuning to prepare the final masterpiece
The Final Crescendo  In unison with each other, loving hands breathe life into the final form, revealing it for the first time in all its exquisite beauty and elegance.
