History of Weiss Jewelry

Founded in 1942 by Albert Weiss, the Weiss Company became one of the most renowned names in high-quality costume jewelry. Known for their Austrian crystal rhinestones, elaborate floral brooches, and intricate designs, Weiss jewelry was often considered a luxury item in the mid-century era. The company ceased operations in 1971, making their pieces highly sought after by collectors today.
