(MWP) MAJESTIC WOOD POLISHED CRYSTAL: The choice of traditionalists. Their Majestic Wood Polished Crystal is cut by hand in two stages on an iron and then a sandstone wheel. Each crystal is then polished on a wood wheel with marble dust. These methods go back centuries.

Cutting and polishing are done by machine
