Vintage Weiss Wedding Bridal Bracelet, Clear Rhinestones, Rhodium Plate, 1950s

*Description: This is a vintage WEISS clear rhinestone bracelet on rhodium plated backing from the 1950s. This may be the "something old" for your wedding or that of family member or a friend. These clear rhinestones are dog-toothed which means that each rhinestone is extra secure because it has multiple prongs holding in each stone rather than just the four that usually holds the rhinestones in place. There are two sizes of clear rhinestones; 8mm and 6mm. This bracelet was designed and in circulation during the 1950's and has a secure alligator clasp. 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.
