Enchanting elegance, we bring you the brilliance of WEISS vintage Austrian crystal necklace from the 1950s. The beautiful emerald color is nearly impossible to photograph...these are so much prettier than can be captured through a camera. The beautifully faceted emerald crystals are in lovely condition and bedazzle.  
The necklace brings the vintage glamour and timeless beauty together with the Weiss Crystal riviere necklace. 
The exquisite necklace is crafted with the legendary brilliance of Weiss craftmanship, and featured sparkling Austrian crystals that dance with light, echoing the allure of real emerald.
 
The lovely necklace has a unqiue closure at the back that allows the necklace to be worn as close to the neck as possible to give a choker look or can be worn to a normal necklace length sitting nicely on the neckline. It is a true collector's piece.
 
About WEISS jewellery history
 
Albert Weiss founded his company in New York in 1942.  Weiss imported rhinestone from Austria, created ornaments by hand. The design and quality were on top, and because of it, many ladies began to change such loud brands as Dior, Chanel, Haskell to jewelry from Weiss. So, the company started to grow and in just a few years has become very popular. To keep up to carry out orders, the company opened a production in Germany, France, and Rhode Island. Later, Weiss Jewelry Company was handed over to his son Michael. In 1971 the company ceased to exist. Today jewelry by Albert Weiss enjoys unprecedented popularity among the fashionistas and lovers of vintage, and thus has become a sought after collectibles.
 
Weiss went on to become a hugely successful costume jewelry designer in the 1950's and 1960's. Weiss' look was based more on paste than on metalwork.
Weiss gave much importance to the quality of his stones and got many of his supplies from Austria, since these stones had a higher lead content and gave his pieces a particularly dazzling appeal.
Weiss produced some of the most beautiful and quality jewelry of the time. Although not as large as some of the other costume jewelry designers like Trifari and Coro, their standard of craftsmanship was exceptionally high.
