Summary: It was such an honor for Dingle Crystal to demonstrate the cutting process. I highly recommend supporting this family owned business. The crystal pieces are stunning! I came home with to much, but hope to add to my collection!

Summary: We were looking for rainy day activities in or around Dingle, so this wasn't a planned stop on our itinerary. I'm usually not happy about rain, but in this case, I was. We would have missed this opportunity otherwise. It was a fascinating and impressive demonstration of crystal cutting and the staff could not have been nicer. Well worth it!!

Summary: Sean, Adam and the team are fantastic. Sean spent time with us explaining the process and the history of the designs as well as the importance of quality that you can no longer get at more well known Crystal companies. If you are in Dingle it is well worth the stop to see them.
