*Description: This is a gorgeous vintage Weiss brooch in clear crystal rhinestones on a rhodium plated background from the 1960s. The floral spray has a middle section that is below the outside edges. Each rhinestone is prong set and the brooch is stamped Weiss on a raised cartouche. The clear rhinestones have an amazing amount of sparkle. This would be a great addition to your vintage jewelry collection or make a great vintage gift!
Weiss was founded in 1942 and ceased operations in 1971. Albert Weiss gained experience by working at Coro and then founded in 1942. Most of the Weiss jewelry is made of high quality Austrian rhinestones and timeless designs.
According to Julia C Carroll in Costume Jewelry 303, some Weiss pieces were designed and manufactured by DeLizza and Elster, Inc, to be sold under the Weiss trademark. Weiss used a wide variety of rhinestones, art glass in some designs and usually prong set stones. They usually used heavy silver or gold tone plating. Some Japanned metal designs and a few colorful enamel designs. Signature was stamped into the metal, part of the mold, or on a raised cartouche.
*Approximate Measurements: Length - 2 3/4 Inches, Width - 1 3/4 Inches, Weight - 1 Ounce
*Condition: Very good vintage condition. Will see signs of wear under magnification. See photos for details.
