New exciting items in the Czechmate Diary store! /Nove skvele zbozi v CMD obchode!

I drew yet another motif of Prague, this time it is the picture of Charles Bridge during sunrise.

There is only 1 original and can be yours for the usual price of my other drawings, which is $39.99 (plus $3.00 for shipping).

There is also more exciting jewelry to chose from, so if you have a hard time finding a nice and one-of-a-kind present, here are some ideas.

ORIENTAL BLUE

This exotic earring/bracelet set is one of my favorites. The earrings are quite long which makes them stand out. The simple bracelet accentuates the exotic vibe but can be worn by itself with any outfit.

New designs of Tanja’s Czech crystal Jewelery / Nove pridavky do Taniny kolekce sperku z ceskeho skla

Christmas will be here soon and Czechmate Diary is now selling authentic and affordable Czech crystal jewelery! I make it myself as it is one of my (many) favorite hobbies in life. I put a special Czech touch into all of my hand crafted jewelry items and I hope you enjoy wearing them as much as I enjoy designing and making them.

Did you know that the Bohemian crystal has been around ever since the 13th century? Its history starts with the abundant natural resources found in the rural Czech countryside. The local glass workers discovered potash combined with chalk created a clear colorless glass that was more stable than glass from Italy. It was at that time when the term Bohemian crystal emerged for the first time in history to distinguish its qualities from the glass coming from other places. As opposed to usual perception this glass was non-lead which meant that it could be cut with a wheel. Bohemian crystal became famous for its excellent cut and engraving and it is adored and worked with all over the world including my home.
