REGENCY is the hallmark for Regina Novelty Company, New York, New York. Regency was in operation from the 1940s to 1970. According to Julia C Carroll in Costume Jewelry 101, “Regency jewelry is beautifully designed and is manufactured with excellent materials. Regency designs have been mistaken for Schreiner or Juliana jewelry. Many of the designs resemble higher end Weiss designs.

In the late 1940s, Oscar Polowitz sub-conracted with Raymond Albertieri to design and manufacture a new line of high-quality rhinestone jewelry for his company, Regina Novelty Company. This new line of jewelry was called “Regency Jewels.” All of the stones used in Regency Jewels came from Austria.
