Very little is known about this company, but the
pieces are well made, usually rhodium plated, and make use of a mixture of
cuts and colors for good effect. The glamorous execution is lighter than
Weiss or Kramer pieces -- more like Bogoff jewelry of the early 1950's.
Pieces marked Astra were also from this company. |
