Weiss Company was founded in New York City in 1942 by a former Coro employee, Albert Weiss. The company flourished during the 1950's and 1960's period, offering high quality costume jewelry with excellent Austrian rhinestones of exceptional quality and clarity. Weiss jewelry has somewhat traditional designs, including floral and figural jewelry. Also desirable is Weiss "black diamond" jewelry replicating the German smoky quartz, set in typical Weiss designs. Weiss jewelry, is comparable to Eisenberg and Bogoff jewelry. Without a doubt, the company manufactured some of the most beautiful jewelry and appealing rhinestone jewelry of the post WWII era. In the mid 1950's, an expandable rhinestone bracelet by Weiss sold for $10 to $15.00. Weiss prices are rapidly rising. Weiss jewelry is usually marked with the company name however they also marked their jewelry A.W. Co. witht the large central letter W in the shape of a crown. After Albert's retirement, his son Michael Weiss assume the leadership of the company, but the firm ceased operations in the early 1970's.
