[QUOTE="IvaPan, post: 9505783, member: 78949"]Every place has its history. Very interesting for me to read about Rhode Island as the capital of US costume jewelry. Indeed, it is pity that this tradition stopped and these factories were replaced by more expensive and less affordable companies. [SIZE=4]It is indeed good to revive this tradition in USA and not only. I haven't heard of it in Europe, here in BG there is no jewelry factory, only local artisans making silver and amber, and selling online and in small shops. But I know for sure that Jablonex, the Czech glass manufacturing giant from the socialist times, was privatised into several smaller units and at least one of them (called Preciosa) is currently producing crystal and glass jewelry. Jablonex was the successor of the many small jewerly businesses in the old town of Gablonz (now called Jablonec) in Bohemia. Jablonex items were extremely popular everywhere in the socialist world, incl. in BG. The ladies from UK and France may have information about the state of affairs in their parts of Europe.
