Le Lian handpicks every bead from small family-run workshops across the city of Donghai, which is called the "Crystal City" of China because of its long history of crystal mining and craftsmanship. It was also where high-quality crystals were first discovered.
The Donghai County Crystal Museum, an elaborate museum with a splendid display of crystals and historical exhibits, showcases the region's rich heritage. A guest journalist from Gemstone Detective referred to the museum as "a once-in-a-lifetime experience," calling it "a chance to see some of the most stunning crystal specimens in the world."
There are many traditionally-run crystal markets in Donghai, which gather according to the traditional agricultural calendar. We visit these markets regularly and have built connections with some of the family workshops known for their great craftsmanship and local renown.
We know that many other brands only source beads from unknown online channels and don’t do due diligence. Low-quality beads can look like plastic, lacking the natural luster, texture, and energy that high-quality crystals possess. This is why we take great pride in our direct connections with artisans, ensuring every bead meets our high standards.
