I have just been enlightened that Weiss vintage brooches are collectible. This piece was my late Gram's and I wore it today, as I wear all of Gram's pieces. I noticed the Weiss mark on the back and started to research. I love this piece and wonder if anyone can tell me anything about it.
Albert Weiss established his own cotume jewelry firm in New York in 1942. Known for his Austrian crystal rhinestones, the Weiss company is enjoying interest from collectors. The majority of Weiss designs are floral or figural. The standards of craftmanship were high, materials are of high quality and rhinestones exhibited an exceptional purity of color. That's for the time being all I can tell you about Weiss jewelry.
search it on ebay and you can see how popular it is -- specially during the holidays -- the big rhinestone earrings make a definite statement at new years eve parties -- many of the hollywood celebs love weiss
