In the middle of the 20th century, the jewelry industry experienced a real boom. The Second World War, which consumed the reserves of metals, was over. The companies for the production of costume jewelry appeared one after another. However, due to the great competition, many companies quickly ceased to exist, and the short period of their existence is the main reason for their little-knownness.
Another boom in costume jewelry took place in the 1980s, when even perfume manufacturers made costume jewelry to advertise their perfume. All fashion houses, especially European ones, produced costume jewelry which became the queen of the catwalks. Among trendsetters who have shattered all snobbery about costume jewelry was Coco Chanel. According to her, stylish people wear bijoux and everyone else has to wear gold.

Renowned Israeli designer of graphics, exhibitions, and stage sets Dan Reisinger is little known for his jewelry designs. In addition to few jewelry pieces he designed the Medal of Honor, the Medal of Courage and the Medal of Distinguished Service. Born 1934 in Kanjiza, Serbia, he immigrated to Israel in 1949. Aged 16, he became the youngest student at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, from which he graduated in 1954.
