The story of the beautiful rhinestone Christmas trees

The beautiful Christmas trees in rhinestones – are handmade from old rhinestones. Most are unique, but there may be individual models that they make several of. Among other things, angels, reindeer and a couple of Christmas trees in clear stones. The Christmas trees are hand-assembled in an area of northern Bohemia in the Czech Republic.

Bohemia formed the headquarters for jewelry and crystal production before World War II. The many workshops were run by the German minority, who were expelled after the war – because they supported Germany. Subsequently, the country was occupied by the Soviet Union for 40 years. It was not until the fall of the wall that the large stocks of jewellery components and rhinestones, which have been left untouched for years, began to be traded. These are the stones that are still used to collect Christmas trees. This means that most of the stones are from the 30-40’s and the plate they are placed on is a brooch component. Each employee can make between 2-3 trees in one day, so it also costs a little.

Since the Christmas trees are often unique, it is not possible to reorder them in certain colors. Then there is a combination you love, so hit it – it will hardly come back. I know that my contact person will sometimes be allowed to design a few trees and they will usually have pieces of them.
