When glass bead and cabochon production in Bohemia got a boost in the early 19th century, Gürtler were the people who made base metal mounts and findings for jewellery.</p><p>Some Gürtlerwerk is intricate and exquisite. It was made in home workshops, by an entire family. The most intricate pieces were assembled by women and girls. The men stamped the components, using their own personal stamps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
