NOTE: Weiss jewelry is one of the designers any serious collector of vintage jewelry should try to own. Albert Weiss (1942-1971) was the originator of the company. He gained much experience working as an apprentice for the Corocraft Company during the 1930's. He honed his skills there and had a very fine eye for detail. In 1942, he opened his own jewelry business, and also his factory which was dedicated to the manufacture of handset pieces only.
One of the hallmarks of early Weiss jewelry was the use of quality stones and he got many of his supplies from Austria since these stones had a higher lead content and gave his pieces a particularly dazzling appeal. My love affair with Weiss jewelry started when I saw his gorgeous stones! His company was small but grew steadily so that in the 1950's and 1960's he had to contract work out to be manufactured by Hollycraft, in order to keep up with the demand. Inverted rhinestones were being used in pieces about this time period and proved very popular. Weiss jewelry designs are all sought and highly collectible today.
