Pinnacle of Exquisite Handcraftsmanship

From the initial drawing, the designer sculpts the prototype model using clay or plaster; by carving detailed lines and texture, the artwork is endowed with new life. Thereafter, silica gel or plaster is applied to cast the metal blanks, which are handed over to professional artisans for polishing the details. After the time and labor consuming prototype is completed, it is divided into several components, and holes for crystal inserts are individually drilled for each component. Next, CasaBella’s exclusive, proprietary MinM (mold in mold) technology is utilized to produce the mold for the components (in preparation for subsequent manufacturing of the artwork).
After the silicon mold is made for each component, professional artisan employs CasaBella’s ConnCraft (seamless joining) technology to painstakingly weld, polish and burnish each component before assembling them together. Subsequently, the artwork is handed over to CasaBella’s crystal designer to arrange the crystals and color diamonds in accordance with the crystal’s characteristics. Finally, senior professional artisans will pave the stunning Swarovski crystal. If the artwork is designed with feathers, cruelty-free feathers procured by CasaBella’s in-house designer are handpicked, arranged and assembled with the utmost precision inside CasaBella’s workshop.

From prototype drawing, planning to the demonstration of the first finished product usually requires 10 months to 2 years. The minutest details of each object are painstakingly refined with the greatest care; under the stringent scrutiny of CasaBella’s Director, the designers and artisans work hand in hand to create absolutely gorgeous works of art.CasaBella’s exclusive, proprietary MinM (mold in mold) technology is utilized to produce the mold for the components.

Director's Words

Over 3 decades ago, my father decided to join the crystal related industry after founding an electronics firm with his close friend. As for me, after graduating with a Ph.D. in organization behavior, I too fell in love with the splendid world of crystal, metal and sculpture over a decade ago.

I will always remember the first time I attempted to produce a plaster mold and what it felt like to pick up the torch to weld my first necklace. I was only 9 years old at the time! Initially, I was driven purely by curiosity and passion, although I did not have a great deal of understanding, my aesthetic awakening started during my first encounter with beauty. In 1999, my father began manufacturing small jeweled boxes and spearheaded “crystal-encrusted jewelry box” production in Asia. Still studying in the States at the time, I started participating in exhibitions and selling these products. In 2004, after returning to Taipei from the US, I was mesmerized by the sparkling crystals and decided to abandon my original intention of working in the financial services industry. Instead, I chose entrepreneurship and started my own crystal product trading company in Guangzhou. At the same time, my father’s factory in Taipei became one of my suppliers.

- ”If you want to make it better, please do it slower.”
Spending long hours in the R&D room constantly contemplating and attempting new designs, I believe that regardless of concept or functionality, the value and stature of an artwork is determined by microscopic differences within a matter of millimeters. After repeated communication over long periods of time, artists, designers and senior artisans all share the most profound consensus and philosophy: “If you want to make it better, please do it slower”.

It has been nearly a decade since my first major creation. In retrospect, we gingerly, gradually overcame numerous difficulties and challenges and turned the impossible into possible. In creating an artwork, we once argued fiercely with our beloved family and partners for a long time; eventually, we managed to complete the project after 2 years, and our thinking and technique were also elevated to a higher level.

Several years ago, my father considered retirement to concentrate his passion on charity, public welfare and spiritual aspiration. However, I felt that I should continue to glorify the heritage of his unique, lifelong craftsmanship. With such ambition nurturing in my mind for the past decade, I was fortunate to bump into my best partner Daniel, an old classmate of more than 10 years. He possesses an entirely different personality to me in a sense that he is even more determined and unequivocal in brand strategy. With our attributes complementing each other, our common aspiration finally culminated in the birth of CasaBella.

Exquisite Quality – Original Craftsmanship

I believe there are many enthusiasts out there who share the same sentiments as me when they first lay their eyes on the handmade masterpieces of CasaBella’s art collection – the dazzling crystal artworks exuding with absolute beauty and ultimate craftsmanship are simply astonishing and enchanting to look at!

The reason they are so unforgettable is attributed not only to CasaBella’s persistence in exquisite craftsmanship or the combination of precious, magnificent materials but also the ability to imbue the aforementioned qualities with a sense of history, society and humanity, so that our ideals can be complemented by more delicate, sensitive aesthetics.

Seeing something extraordinary within mediocrity and reverting to commonness from remarkableness, one will be able to perceive the essence of spirit through materialism and in turn transform materials into something spiritual. CasaBella intends to convey a philosophy that embodies living, heritage, collection and resplendence as the meaning and symbol of life, ultimately attaining the realm of religion, ethics and aesthetics through functionality. Implements created using gemlike crystals and uncanny craftsmanship resemble the culmination of natural creation and human civilization. They not only adorn various aspects of life but also serve as a symbol of life and enlightenment for the profoundness of art.

Any masterpiece is a “life form”. The universe is comprised of lives that are intricately associated with one another. The sparkling crystals and diamonds molded from the quintessence of Mother Nature exude aristocratic splendor, complemented by extraordinary craftsmanship, culture, artistic imagination and creativity, the artworks are imbued with soul and passion.
This is the ultimate embodiment of “Exquisite Quality – Original Craftsmanship”.
