Read below for more information about the company. “Krementz vintage costume jewellery A famous brand tested by time, a rather large collection of Krementz jewelry was on board of the Titanic when it sank. Traditionally high quality products, Krementz became popular thanks to the use of high-gold gilding. Because of this, their decorations look absolutely authentic. Noteworthy, the company has a long history – about 160 years!. The history of the iconic brand began in the 1860s, when George Krementz founded his company in Newark, New Jersey. Initially, the company created men’s jewelry, but in 1920, it began the production of jewelry for women. Thanks to high quality craftsmanship, design and materials, the jewelry quickly became popular. As a result, already in mid 1930s, Krementz began selling its products internationally. Back to 1886, Krementz craftsmen used gold inlay and gilding 30 times thicker than commonly used in the manufacture of expensive jewelry. The intention was to create something in between a jewelry and precious jewels. Creating in the era of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, Krementz products include excellent examples of jewelry from this period of time. Krementz continued to produce gilded jewelry until 1980.”—-Kaleidoscope Effect Condition: Excellent vintage condition Approximate Measurements: Necklace—15” long Central Pendant—2 3/4” long by 2 3/4” wide —Please follow my store, The Vintage Jewelry Box and More, for other fine and fun estate finds.
