Weiss
Albert Weiss, a former employee of Coro, opened his own business in the 1940's. "Jewels by Albert Weiss" was used on jewelry carding and in advertising. Mr. Weiss did not manufacture his own designs but instead bought designs from various "jobbers", including Hollycraft, which accounts for the wide variety of styles that jewelry with the Weiss signature encompasses. Some pieces emulate the Eisenberg style, using the paved swirls and even the keyhole clasp that Eisenberg used. The best pieces of Weiss including his well-known "Black Diamond" line and pieces that use combinations of vibrant, deep colors, as well as the arum rhinestone and clear rhinestone "Ice" pieces.

Description: Weiss Black Diamond and Black Diamond Aurora Borealis Earrings - Weiss used a multi-pronged setting in a lot of the jewelry they sold, and this type of setting is used on every stone in these earrings, even the small clears. Slightly domed, these use huge 10mm colored stones and smaller clears. Silvertone setting, excellent condition. DeLizza and Elster (Juliana) manufactured for Weiss and these were quite possibly some of their production. Item: SE7-460 Price: $19.50 US Sorry, SOLD! |

Description: Spectacular Weiss Clear Rhinestone Pinwheel Brooch - One of the best clear rhinestone brooches I have ever had, equal to any of the 1950's Eisenberg. This features seven 13mm dentelle (fancy) cut rhinestones, six 7.75mm dentelle rhinestones, six rectangular cuts and a whole lot of graduated pave set stones. Blindingly beautiful, this baby was very difficult to photograph because of its refraction. Center stone has a small hazy spot only noticeable with close scrutiny, otherwise superior condition. This piece deserves your best velvets and any occasion where you want to knock their socks off. Item: SP9-293 Price: $135.00 US |
