It’s no secret that Eisenberg jewelry is one of the best in the world. And although the company does not use real gems, gold and silver, jewelry is considered elite. The high class of jewelry is confirmed both by time and by the insane demand in the world of collectors. The classic stylish design of “Eisenberg” is easily recognizable and always attracts attention.
History of creation Eisenberg jewelry
The history of the appearance of jewelry is extremely unusual. Jonas Eisenberg, an emigrant from Austria at the beginning of the 20th century (in various sources, the dates are both 1880 and 1914). Some time later, in the late 1930s, the company began producing jewelry for the sole purpose of complementing its clothing line in an attempt to boost sales.
Therefore, the first products were made as accessories for a clothing line. In particular, pins and brooches were designed with glittering rhinestones, and pinned in blue velvet boxes with “Eisenberg & Sons” written on the dresses. But the beauty and quality of these jewelry was so bright, successful, airy that they only overloaded the design and overshadowed the beauty of the dresses. And something unimaginable began – some ladies began to buy dresses for the sake of jewelry, while others began to steal accessories corny, leaving clothes in the fitting room …
The solution was found very quickly – a separate line of jewelry!
And it was this decision that became a turning point for the company, whose jewelry glorified the name “Eisenberg” and became the beginning of a whole dynasty of jewelry manufacturers.
An interesting fact – Jonas Eisenberg chose Svorovsky crystals for jewelry to support his fellow Austrian and did not lose. For his jewelry line, only the best stones of various shapes and colors were supplied.
The designer from 1940 to 1972 was an amazing woman – Ruth Kamke.
It is she who plays a key role in the history of jewelry from Eisenberg, hundreds and hundreds of her jewelry are full of luxury and attraction for collectors around the world.
She has been creating jewelry for over 32 years. Her rise story is briefly as follows – she launches a clothing line for women in Chicago. I must say that the clothes were designed for noble ladies of the middle and above class and were strict styles in black, white and gray, day dresses and suits for wealthy housewives.
Jewelry sold with such success that the production of clothing ceased in 1958. Nowadays, few people know about Eisenberg dresses, but jewelry is familiar to every vintage lover.
Initially, the company ordered accessories from various manufacturers, but once the decision to make jewelry for the sake of jewelry was made, Fallon & Kappel was found on the east coast, which made jewelry exclusively for Eisenberg until 1972.
In 1972, F&C closed for two weeks, during which time all forms and designs of jewelry were destroyed, including designs by Ruth Kamke.
The Eisenberg company still exists today.
Only in the late 1970s. Carl Eisenberg, grandson of Jonas, sold the company, but continued to work for it as an employee.
