The History of Eisenberg Jewelry
Jonas Eisenberg, an Austrian who came to the United States in 1880, founded Eisenberg & Sons Originals, in 1914, as a perfume and clothing company for ladies. During the late 1930s, the company began to manufacture jewelry to make their clothing line more appealing and to boost sales.
They designed pins and brooches with brilliant rhinestones and... surprise! The beauty of these jewelry pieces overwhelmed the beauty of their dresses, therefore they were more desired than the dresses themselves. Sometimes, the jewelry kept getting stolen because it was so attractive.
The next step was logical. In 1940, Eisenberg Jewelry Inc. was officially established and began to produce and sell jewelry on its own. The new business went so well that the company no longer needed to sell dresses.
The Materials Used In Eisenberg Jewelry
Eisenberg Jewelry is made out of the highest-quality metals, and brilliant Swarovski imported from Austria and Czechoslovakia. Initially, mainly Swarovski rhinestones were selected in white as well as in a small variety of colors. The jewelry was produced with Rhodium metals (which does not tarnish) in colors that complimented the crystals and rhinestones. The favorite colors of the rhodium metals included rose, gold, silver, and copper.
Other Eisenberg pieces include the sterling silver pieces with a type of quartz called citrine, which Eisenberg branded as \"Topaz quartz.\"
In the mid-1940s, the company also made a few pieces in 14-carat gold and a collection of turquoise pieces crafted by artisans in Mexico.
Popular Eisenberg Jewelry Styles
In the early 40s, the company had favorite combinations of colors, such as pink and turquoise, pink and purple, light and dark topaz, amethyst and turquoise, red and turquoise, aqua, and ice blue, red, and crystal. According to Everyday Health, in time, they came with additional colors, such as clear, beige, tan, peridot green, emerald, blue, and violet.
Crystal rhinestones in various shapes and pearls were also incorporated into the designs. In particular, combinations of rhinestone and pearl bouquet brooches made beautiful pieces.
Large sets were typically prong mounted with lots of glitter and sparkle. Some sets used a circle clasp that opened in the center for safety and easy closure. Other sets were prong mounted.
Eisenberg\'s designs included a wide variety of jewelry styles including dress clips, fur clips, clip earrings, double clips, screw earrings, pins with safety chains, bracelets, choker necklaces, brooches, and circle brooches.
In terms of the forms themselves, many Eisenberg jewelry pieces are abstract and vaguely organic, but some others resemble kings, queens, mermaids, ballerinas, or animals.
The jewelry pieces in the shape of horses, zebras, birds, and butterflies were very appreciated. Some Eisenberg brooches told mini-stories, like the one depicting Puss in Boots or a clip called Piggy Goes to Market.
