Wiesner & Astra  ~ 

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.
