...or
speed up.
Everything around us is in constant motion. Today more than ever,
if we stand still we may miss an eternity of sights, sounds, and
experiences. Yet the faster things become, the more blurred they
get, and the more they appear to be standing still. And suddenly we
are struck with the reality that speed is relative! High-tech becomes
strangely serene in a soft toned-down palette that seemingly defies
time. There is a paradoxical harmony between the classic tonal
nuances and unusually energetic splashes of accent colours. So
whether you are racing at full tilt or enjoying a rare moment of calm,
enjoy the ride!

PANTONE®
The World’s Colour
Standard
Preciosa, officially incorporated in 1948, is
a leading international producer of cut crystal,
specializing mainly in the production of quality
machine-cut stones, beads and other fashion
jewellery components in a broad variety of
shapes, colours and sizes.
Pantone revolutionized the graphic arts industry
with the launch of the colourful PANTONE
MATCHING SYSTEM® over half a century ago,
thus enabling designers and printers to faithfully
articulate and accurately reproduce colours.
Preciosa‘s heritages dates
back over six centuries,
when glassmaking first
established and began to
flourish in northern
Bohemia. Today, staying
true to its roots, Preciosa®
GENUINE CZECH CRYSTAL™
is still 100% manufactured
in the Czech Republic. While
its headquarters remain in
Jablonec nad Nisou, a city
just north of the capital
Prague, in the midst of
the country’s glassmaking
region, Preciosa serves its
international base of customers through seven offices
worldwide.
Each colour in the system is
identified with a unique number for precise specification.
Pantone, a subsidiary of
X-Rite, Inc., quickly became
the standard in the printing
and graphic arts industries.
As the company moved into
more lifestyle-oriented
industries, the concept of
a numbering system associated with corresponding
colour names became even
more important in communicating the exactness of
a colour.
It is, however, the combination of hundred year-old
glassmaking tradition and
skills, modern flexibility,
dedication to research and
innovation, and a strong
technical capacity which give
rise to Preciosa® GENUINE
CZECH CRYSTAL™: a top quality product of unequalled
value on the marketplace.
One of the most resistant
stones in the marketplace,
Preciosa® GENUINE CZECH
CRYSTAL™ guarantees the
stability of its shapes, colour
and sparkling brilliance of its
entire range of products and
colour palette. Preciosa®
GENUINE CZECH CRYSTAL™
is made with High-Pure
Crystal™ technologies,
guaranteeing you the finest,
clearest and most perfect
crystal product every time.
PRECIOSA® is the European company that believes in preserving the
environment. Preciosa enforces environmentally save working conditions
and utilizes ecologically responsible technologies. All production is regularly
tested by accredited laboratories in order to ensure their compliance with all
major crystal standards. Detailed information is available at www.preciosa.
