Description: Kramer "Barberpole" Clear Rhinestone Earrings - These were sparkly enough that the camera simply didn't know where to focus on the first shot, please see the lower picture for a better idea. Individual pronged rhinestones are set in a curved line over a cylindrical frame - please note these aren't rhinestone chain, but actually individual stones that go entirely around the 3-D cylinder design. The cylinder then is attached to a metal frame to hold it to the clip part. Signed Kramer on the ear clip mechanism, which has a keyhole top. 1 1/8" x 3/8" x 1/2" deep. I believe I saw the matching necklace online once and it was pretty incredible. A rare design for this company. Item: SE8-859 Price: $49.50 US |

Description: Kramer Netted Blue Rhinestone Earrings - One of the unusual types of things this company did was to put various colored (usually black) netting over stones in a design, giving them kind of the look of a (hair) snood. Light blue sapphire rhinestones are used throughout, with only the larger rounds being netted. There is aging to most of the stones, but between the netting and the fact that the stones are set in an antiqued dark silvertone, makes it all blend together beautifully. 1 1/4" x 1", clip mechanism is signed Kramer. Apparently the light blue is one of the most difficult to find color of this genre of Kramer. Item: SE8-862 Price: $39.50 US |

Description: Kramer Aurora Borealis Earrings - A simple, very wearable style, using clear aurora borealis stones prong set in goldtone, alternating baguettes with a set of two rounds. 3/4" x 3/8", marked Kramer on the clip back. I don't know whether the clipslip cushions are original or not, but they are in very good shape, as are the rest of these earrings.

Description: Kramer of NY Aqua and Clear Rhinestone Earrings - Layered clip earrings use an inner row of clear round rhinestones, a higher layer of rectangular and pear shaped clears, a rim of aqua rounds and pears and an outer rim of aqua rectangular and clear rounds. Silvertone (rhodium?) plating, top quality clip finding (the best I have ever found). 1 3/8" x 3/4" x 3/8" deep. One clear round has clouded a little, and slight plating wear at contact points, otherwise excellent. Item: SE6-746 Price: $29.50 US |

Description: Kramer Faux Alexandrite Brooch and Earring Set - One of Kramer's top collectibles is the color change stone pieces that we can faux alexandrite, which usually go from light sapphire blue lavender depending on whether your light source is fluorescent, incandescent, halogen or whatever. My pictures really don't do justice to this phenomena but I think you get the idea. The larger rounds in the brooch and the center rounds in the earrings are dentelle cuts for extra sparkle. Brooch is about 1 1/2" in diameter and higher in the middle, about 3/8" deep. Earrings are clip with the superior clip mechanism that Kramer often used, not quite an inch in diameter, and also slightly raised in the center. All pieces marked. One round is slightly cloudy, otherwise excellent condition. Item: SS6-748 Price: $85.00/set US Sorry, SOLD!  |

Description: Kramer Translucent Fruit Salad Necklace and Earring Set in Pale Yellow - I have also seen this set in green; MUCH prettier, in my opinion, in yellow. Technically this may not be fruit salad as the pieces are not fruit but flowers and leaves, and the glass stones are not opaque but translucent, with almost an adularescene to them. Silvertone plating, both necklace and earrings are dotted with small rhinestones that add a subtle sparkle, about 4 rhinestones for every six glass floral/leaf pieces. Necklace is adjustable with hook and chain closure and has twenty separate links, earrings have clip backs. Necklace will fit up to a 16" neck; earrings are 1 1/4" x 3/4". Much lovelier in person than my photos convey. Item: SS6-566 Price: $95.00/set US Sorry, SOLD!  |

Description: Kramer Dichroic Light Sapphire Necklace - Faux Alexandrite is probably the more proper term for these rhinestones; like real alexandrites, they change colors, but instead of red to green, these change from light sapphire to lavender depending on your light source. Many companies used this stone in the 1950's-1960's but Kramer became the best known, and they did it WELL. Set in goldtone (as opposed to the usual silvertone), this alternates larger and smaller dentelle cuts that are some of the most lovely stones I have seen. Multi-prong set, this alternates 6mm with a whopping 11mm stones along almost the entire length of the necklace, finishing with 5.5mm rhinestone tail. Even the adjustable hook clasp is rhinestone set. 15 1/2". I can find no flaws. Fit for a queen. Item: SN1-544 Price: $125.00 US Sorry, SOLD!  |

Description: Kramer Blue Green Domed Brooch - This piece features three oval bi-colored speciality stones, unusual because they are unfoiled and combine the colors of chartruese and turquoise (these stones are referred to as "Sabrina").

About 2" in diameter and 1/2" deep. 1960's color combinations are once again in favor! Item: SP5-181 Price: $59.00 US  |

Description: Kramer of NY Jonquil and Topaz Rhinestone Bracelet - This features a rigid center with flexible sides for an excellent fit and look. Because of the rigid portion it was difficult to measure but should fit a 7"+ wrist. Absolutely a stunning sparkler in the tradition of the top of the line pieces this company made. Brass setting (underside is quite worn); a few marquises were replaced because of chipped tips but you will have great difficulty telling which ones. Gorgeous piece.
