Framed by Germany , Austria , Slovakia and Poland is a precious little star called the Czech Republic , historically known as Czechoslovakia (1918 - 1992) and the Kingdom of Bohemia (before 1918).

Shaped culturally by its famous king and emperor of the Holy Roman Empire , Charles IV, the Czechs sustained, despite the 50-year long communist influence, their centuries long fame in the production of world-class art made of hand cut lead crystal.

Crystal chandeliers are a typical product of the Czech glass-industry: the tradition of its manufacture can be traced back for many centuries. For instance, the 17-th century Bohemian chandeliers adorned the court of the King of France, and they were exported all over Europe , from Petersburg to Lisbon.

At the present time Bohemian crystal chandeliers are supplied to virtually all countries of the world. The popularity enjoyed by chandeliers of Bohemian crystal, which is produced only in the Czech Republic , has outlived centuries and many a fashion trend.
  
Crystal chandelier parts such as almonds, prisms, bowls and arms are crafted in the Czech Republic, and are eagerly sough by interior designers and well known chandelier manufactures all over the world.

For a chandelier to carry the label "Bohemia Crystal" the entire chandelier must be made in the Czech Republic . Also, it must  pass or exceed very strict quality standards set by the Czechs to enforce and protect the-guarded trademark  "Bohemia Crystal."    

Crystal , by definition, is glass of superior quality and high degree of brilliance. Not all crystal is the same because its color and brilliance strongly depend on the composition and proportions of  raw materials, and associated technological process, all of which are traditionally kept a secret by the Czechs to protect the formula.

 To give the crystal a dramatic or exotic appearance, a specific blend of colors is added to the basic crystal glass formula to create transparent pink, ruby red, light red, light blue, cobalt blue, amber, topaz, light green, and dark green undertones.

The richer the design, the more facets to reflect light, the more precise the cut, the more valuable the crystal chandelier.

Some Bohemia crystal creations are further beautified with gold-plated and high-enameled floral designs to give them the ultimate statement of timeless beauty and elegance.
