Some facts: “One of the most important legends of bijouterie production in the Czech Republic, Brdyčka & Altman jewelry company belonged to the two family houses Brdyčka and Altmann. Brdyčka began to produce metal components for jewelry in 1908, and in 1913 the company started to produce unique jewelry. However, with the start of World War II, the company closed manufacture (1939). Traditionally, the products had markings: “Czecho”, “Czechoslovakia”, “SBK”, and some masters put their own letters. All jewellery produced by Brdyčka & Altman are original masterpieces, wearable art made in the Czech Republic. Intricate brooches and necklaces, long earrings demonstrate very complex manual work, the complete absence of stamped parts and drilling. Art Deco and Art Nouveau motifs are very characteristic: ladies, floral motifs, pharaohs, buddhas, dragonflies, butterflies, sphinxes, scarabs, beetles, cicadas, dogs, birds, etc. Characteristic bright and saturated colors: blue, various shades of green, milky white, purple, lilac, and sky blue. In 1947 Brdyčka was arrested, the documents were destroyed, and the family left for Austria. After the closure of the Brdyčka & Altman factory in Jablonec, small private jewelry workshops continued to work. They established Jablonex jewelry company in 1952 from these small businesses. More than 100 jewelers and 40 designers worked at the factory. In the fall of 2009, Jablonec went bankrupt. Vintage jewelry lovers and collectors value exquisite design and high quality Czech costume jewelry.”
