Rhinestone, Designer
Signed and Vintage Costume Jewelry Store
| Jewelry on this page is vintage and not fake or reproductions. I see a lot of fakes out there and the stones have been glued in and not prong set. Prong set means that 4 prongs hold in each stone. Jewelry made with prong set stones is more expensive to manufacture and that is why you see the fakes and reproductions with glued in stones. This does not mean that all vintage Weiss jewelry was made with prong set stones but the majority of it was. |
Albert Weiss, a jewelry designer and manufacturer, founded the Albert Weiss & Company in 1942. The company prospered during the 1950s and 1960s. Weiss jewelry offered high quality costume jewelry using Austrian rhinestones of exceptional quality and clarity, faux pearls, clear and glass colored stones with antique and gold-tone, silver-tone and Japanned metal settings. Weiss jewelry has become highly rated and is increasing in price. The company ceased operations in 1971.
