The production of WEISS jewelry continued until 1971. WEISS was founded in New York by Albert Weiss in 1942, and named after him. Prior to this, Weiss had a long tenure at Coro, giving him extensive knowledge of jewelry. He imported rhinestones from Austria and handcrafted ornaments and accessories. The design and quality were considered superior, leading many ladies to trade their pieces from renowned brands like Dior, Chanel, and Haskell for Weiss jewelry. Consequently, the company grew and gained significant popularity within a few short years. To expedite orders, the company established production facilities in Germany, France, and Rhode Island. Later, Albert Weiss passed on his jewelry company to his son, Michael. However, due to financial reasons, he closed the company in 1971, leading to its discontinuation. Today, jewelry crafted by Albert Weiss is highly sought after by fashionistas and vintage enthusiasts. Weiss incorporated numerous styles and designs that were subsequently imitated by other jewelers. As many of his early works were undervalued, his designs, such as beautiful insects and butterflies, are now highly coveted by collectors. Recognizing this, the prices for Weiss jewelry have risen at auctions. The "Weiss" company was one of the first to utilize Aurora Borealis crystals, or "Polar Lights," which were developed in collaboration with Christian Dior in the 1950s.
