History of Czech jewelry

The glass industry in Jablonec and Nisou originated in the mid 16th Century. Master smelters came to the Jizerske mountains from Saxony (Germany). A local wealthy land-owner, with vast woodlands, invited them to start producing glass to use this natural resource, a combination of wood and water. Salaries were paid quarterly and were not abundant. The smelters were very dependant on the employer in those times. This migration formed the long lasting line of glass making families. The woods were depleted by the 19th century and the industry moved into the valleys. 
The Jablonec region became the center of the biggest glass works. Mostly German ownership gave rise to famous manufacturers such as Riedel and Swarowski. The Czech entrepreneurs did not spring up till the early 20th century. The biggest expansion came in 1918 to the start of the second war in 1938. One of the greatest influence at the time was Alfons Mucha a world reknowned Czech artist who lived in Paris. His work is archytypical Art Nouveau though he disliked the term. He rose to world fame with his posters for Sahra Bernhart.
