A bedazzling pair of WEISS (signed) aurora borealis Austrian crystals earrings from the 50s. This is one piece which is very hard to capture its real beauty and insane light reflction character. We tried our best, but what it is in real vs what photos show is not even close. The pristine high quality aurora borealis Austrain crystals and impeccable craftmanship which WEISS is known for provides such an illuminous bedazzling character to the pair which can only be compared to a highest standard precisely cut diamond. 
 
The stellar pair features a custom prong-set aurora borealis chaton surrounded with a clustrt of aurora borealis navette Austrian crystals. The iridescent effect of the crystals show blue, amber, and green shades of color. 
 
The earrings has a clip on back and is easy to wear. It is signed/hallmarked WEISS at the back clasp on both pieces.
WEISS pieces are considered highly collectible due to its fine quality and craftmanship and rarity of piece available in the market for collectors.
 
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.
