Ciner vintage costume jewelry
Founded in 1892 by Emanuel Ciner New York based company “Ciner Manufacturing Co, Inc” originally made only expensive jewelry. However, since 1929, due to the Great Depression, the demand for expensive jewelry dropped significantly. To stay in the business and just to survive, the company turned its attention to costume jewelry.
Since 1930, the production of costume jewelry of very high quality, reminiscent of fine jewelry, has begun.
Traditionally, craftsmen used gold plating and faux pearls made in Japan on special technology. The technology allowed Ciner to make faux pearls look natural.
Innovative technologies and rich experience with precious materials allowed masters to artfully combine precious stones, gold plating, natural pearls, and rhinestones.
Noteworthy, the company began marking jewelry with “CINER” stamp only after 1945.
Located at 20 West 37th Street New York , NY, the current status of the company is active, re-registered and renewed. Considered a long-liver among jewelry manufacturers, now the fifth generation manages the company. According to designers, they draw inspiration from nature itself, using images of flora and fauna.
