Thanks to the Prague Spring in 1968 at the invitation of the Czechoslovak Artists\u2019 Association for the first time European jewelry artists from East and West converged on Jablonec nad Nisou in northern Bohemia for a European summit of jewelry artists: Manaba Magomedova from the Soviet Republic of Dagestan, who later moved to Georgia, and Bruno Martinazzi from Italy, Florica Farcasu from Rumania and Othmar Zschaler from Switzerland, Jerzey Zaremski from Poland and Elisabeth Defner-Kodr\u00e9 with Helfried Kodr\u00e9 from Austria \u2013 Anton Cepka, Helena Frantov\u00e1, Libu\u0161e Hlubu\u010dkov\u00e1, Darina Horv\u00e1thov\u00e1, Jaroslav Kodeij\u0161, Pavel Krb\u00e1lek, Blanka Nepasick\u00e1, Eleonora Rejtharov\u00e1 and Josef Symon as representatives of the host, not to mention Hermann J\u00fcnger from Germany. And three artists who \u2013 at the end \u2013 could not take part into the symposium: E.R. Nele (Germany), Jane Wiberg (Denmark) and Per Are Lundahl (Sweden). Mostly artists we celebrate today as founders of studio jewelry.

From the mid-19th century onwards, Jablonec nad Nisou with its proximity to the Bohemian glass centers Libere\u010d and \u017delezn\u00fd Brod was considered a mecca of the jewelry industry, glass beads and jewelry were even exported to Africa, and it hosted industrial exhibitions. In the late 1960s, the generally difficult economic situation also hit the Czechoslovak jewelry industry. The symposium sought with the help of modern design languages and international interaction to find a way out of this dilemma, and build on the successes of Czechoslovak jewelry at the World Exhibitions in Brussels 1958 and Montreal 1967.
During the four-week symposium artists created incredible outstanding and sometimes also experimental pieces of silver combined with glass, slade and semiprecious stones. The jewelry pieces which were created in these weeks were then shown in an exhibition which travelled from Muzeum skla a bi\u017euterie in Jablonec nad Nisou (Museum for Glass and Bijoutery) to the Um\u011bleckopr\u016fmyslov\u00e9 museum in Prag (Museum of Arts and Crafts), Schmuckmuseum Pforzheim, Museum f\u00fcr Gestaltung in Zurich, and to the Moravsk\u00e1 galerie in Brno (Moravian Gallery).
Now, half a century after Jablonec \u201968, for the very first time the 70 jewelry items will be presented again, having been preserved to this day in the Muzeum skla a bi\u017euterie (Museum of Glass and Jewelry) in Jablonec nad Nisou.
