This category lists our Preciosa Crystal Beads &
Components by Color. Colors are listed alphabetically.
Alternate finishes (AB, Marea, Capri Gold, etc) are listed as their own
"color" since their appearance is so different.
When you purchase products with the Genuine Czech Crystal symbol, you have purchased genuine Bohemian cut crystal manufactured by Preciosa in the Czech Republic. All the items within this category are manufactured to the highest standards of quality by Preciosa.
Preciosa and Swarovski are recognized worldwide as the two top quality producers of leaded crystal components. We selected Preciosa products because of their high quality, wide selection of styles and colors, and prices that are much lower than those offered by Swarovski. In many cases, Preciosa prices are 20-35% less than equivalent Swarovski items.
Preciosa is not well known here in the United States because they have a fairly limited distribution system in this country. We are pleased to join their family of resellers. If you have not tried their crystal products we encourage you to do so. We think you will be pleased with the value and quality you will receive!
In some cases, items with the same color name from both manufacturers may differ in color and overall appearance. We are adding information to the detail pages for each item to help assist you in comparing the two products. We also have a downloadable Preciosa Color Chart in PDF format for your reference.
