Does Tyrone Crystal still use traditional hand-cut techniques?

Traditional hand-cut techniques are still part of Tyrone Crystal’s identity, though they are used alongside modern methods. Hand cutting involves skilled workers shaping patterns directly into the crystal using rotating wheels. This technique requires training and experience, as even small errors can affect the final design. In recent years, many orders have shifted towards engraved rather than deeply cut patterns, as engraving allows for quicker production and more detailed images. Even so, some items still feature hand-finished elements, especially in higher-end pieces. The blend of old and new methods reflects wider changes in the crystal industry, where efficiency and customisation have become more important.
