'Queens do it. First ladies do it. Even Madeleine Albright and Elizabeth Taylor did it: Wear Ciner jewels. And for good reason: Ciner makes what the jewelry historian Melinda L. Lewis called “the equivalent of the crown jewels” of costume jewelry — pieces made with semiprecious stones, simulated gems, crystal and silver or other metals, often plated with gold or rhodium. Ciner was a favorite choice by Hollywood celebrities like Ann Miller, Lana Turner and Jane Wyman as well as wealthy socialites. Ciner designs each creation in it inimitable collection. Every Ciner original is an inspiration … so that your string of pearls and glittering rings and delicate pains are all mistake (mischievous you!) for the real thing.”

Emanuel CINER founded a precious jewelry company in New York in 1892. Around the 1930s he began to make high quality costume jewelry and eventually dropped the fine jewelry completely. Ciner said it was the only costume jewelry maker in America that still fabricated each piece by hand, from start to finish.

One hundred thirty years after its founding as a fine jewelry brand, Ciner says it is the only costume jewelry maker in America that still fabricates each piece by hand from start to finish, often using the original models made by Emanuel Ciner, its founder.

CINER's jewelry is designed to look like precious pieces, typically set with Swarovski crystals." - Judith Miller from her new book "Miller's Costume Jewelry".
