Our story began more than four decades ago — long before sleek branding and digital design.
The photos below capture those early days: Nora and Rick standing with their first shipment of glass and crystal, marking the beginning of the journey that became Glassical Designs. Nora behind the engraving booth at the Orange County Outdoor Marketplace, where Glassical Designs truly began. Their first California showroom — and one of their earliest trade shows, where the dream started to take shape.
Back then, everything was done by hand, built on precision, creativity, and care.
Today, our methods have evolved — but our foundation hasn’t changed. Integrity. Consistency. Excellence. These values have guided Glassical Designs from the very beginning, and they continue to set us apart.
While trends shift and new names emerge, trust, experience, and craftsmanship will always matter most.
That’s why, after 40 years, we’re still here — delivering recognition that lasts.
