Vintage Highly Collectable - EISENBERG  WINGED or CRESCENT BROOCH - CLEAR ICE RHINESTONES.
Signed:   EISENBERG in Script
Circa:   1943 to 1945
  • The Brooch: A beautiful vintage brooch, signed: EISENBERG (in Script) with 'Spinning C' clasp. Designed in a lovely 'Crescent' style and set with gorgeous larger sized navettes and 'tear-drop 'ice' rhinestones, a central large Chaton sets the scene...there is faint ageing to some of the 'stones', but they haven't lost their ability to sparkle and to be enjoyed by the wearer, even to this day...a stunning piece of design history from the marvellous EISENBERG craftsman......and in my opinion, it is in excellent vintage condition 
  • Brief History: Eisenberg started using Rhinestone Costume Jewellery on their line of 'high-end' clothing pre-1930 to help sell it due to lagging sales. The jewellery was so successful they launched their own line of jewellery branded Eisenberg Ice in the 30's. Sam Eisenberg later coined the brand name Eisenberg 'Ice' from the gangster term for diamonds, commonly used in the 1920's. Eisenberg used many brand markings and when a new one was used the older were not necessarily ceased. During the period 1942 - 1945 in some instances e.g. when space was limited Eisenberg used a script E signature. From the early 1930's and through the 1950's pieces were generally marked "EISENBERG", "EISENBERG ICE" and "Eisenberg ORIGINAL" from 1955 EISENBERG (c) was used. As of the 70's "EISENBERG ICE (c) was used.
  • The brooch is in excellent overall vintage condition. The stones are generally good with a few slightly yellowed with age. Please see pics as they form part of the description.

  • As you will be aware when buying vintage/old' used jewellery for wearing or collecting, you are buying an item that has been used/owned for many decades. It may be showing age and wear from use, I do my best to describe each piece with all it merits and its faults if I notice them, and do so in all honesty..if I miss something or fail to mention it in the description, it would only be in error and certainly not intentional on my part.
