1914 - 1977
Founder, Jonas Eisenberg began his business by designing and selling quality clothing. As was common with many high-end fashion designers, he began to create jewelry to compliment his clothing line. By the late 1950's the company had moved completely to producing quality fashion jewelry. The company was noted for using the best quality platings and stones.
