Guide to Preciosa Crystal Glass Bead Colours & Coatings

Preciosa is a world leader in the production of high-quality crystal glass, including beads and pendants, with a history of manufacturing crystal glass components dating back to 1724. Preciosa crystal is made in Czechoslovakia, within the historical bead making region of Bohemia, with their headquarters situated at its very heart, in the town of Jablonec. To learn more about bead making in this region and Czech made glass in general please read our History of Czech Glass which details the earlier years of glass bead production, through two World Wars, via the Communist factory system, right up to the present day.

Preciosa specialise in the production of machine cut beads, chatons and rhinestone jewellery components which compare extremely favourably with that well known Austrian crystal manufacturer founded by Daniel Swarovski, who was actually born in Jalonec and learnt his trade and developed his skills there! Preciosa crystal glass is of the highest quality and is available in great variety of colours, coatings, cuts, shapes and sizes. Because they are machine cut for precision, using cutting edge technologies, their durability and optical perfection guarantees that the crystals will not wear down or lose their brilliance.

The Preciosa colours and coatings chart found below, and in the free PDF file, details the colour ranges and coatings for the Preciosa Beads for sale on Big Bead Little Bead. Using the colour card as a source it is easy to search our site using both the Preciosa colour name and the Preciosa colour code. As the colour codes are a standard used by all Czech glass manufacturers, take care as a code search may also return glass beads (non-crystal) with the same code. If there is a colour or finish that you are interested in, but that we don’t have in stock, please E-mail Us and source it for you.

Please note that as of the start of 2011, Preciosa have withdrawn the majority of the colour ways they produced in their beautiful matt finish and the Preciosa color chart below reflects this.
