Founded in NY in 1942 by Albert Weiss, who formerly worked for Coro, the company is known for its outstanding rhinestone jewelry, especially figurals. Weiss did not design or manufacture any of his own pieces, but rather contracted with other makers. Clearly, though, he was expert at picking the right ones to put his name on! Business ceased operations in 1971. To see more information on this and other jewelry designers, click the "Designer Information" tab at the top of the page.
