*Description: This is a beautiful Weissco (early Weiss) necklace with three tassels in clear rhinestones and light blue rhinestones, all prong set on a silver tone metal from the 1940s. This necklace is 16 inches in length with a fold over clasp. An extension chain has been added which brings the necklace to 18 inches. So, you can wear the necklace at 16 inches or 18 inches in length. 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 - 16 Inches plus 2 Inch extender, Pendant Length - 2 1/4 Inches
*Condition: Very good vintage condition. Due to age, the clear rhinestones are vintage in appearance but still full of sparkle. Will see signs of wear under magnification. See photos for details.
