Founded in New York in 1940, L. Erbert & Pohls Inc produced Bergere jewelry from 1947 to 1979. Distinguished by high quality materials and exquisite design, costume jewelry has been very popular with women and jewelry lovers. Besides, products marked Bergere were quite famous, due to the fact that they often appeared on the pages of fashion magazines and advertising posters. Traditionally, jewelers made gorgeous necklaces, bracelets, pins, and earrings using artificial pearls, stones and gilding, rhodium, copper and other metals.
Bergere jewelry was sold at the Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor and Marshall Fields stores. Noteworthy, all the decorations of this American jewelry company had marks “Bergére”.
Having worked about forty years, in 1979, the company ceased operations. Accordingly, all products are vintage and desirable for collectors and lovers of costume jewelry.
