Brief Weiss History
Weiss jewelry was not as big a name as some of the other jewelry companies, but like them, Weiss Jewelry made different lines for different pocket-books. They made some very high end jewelry and accessories.
 
Albert Weiss, a native New Yorker, started his company in 1942, on Fifth Avenue in N.Y., after having worked for Coro and Marvella Jewelry. 
 
The first mark used was "WEISS" in block letters, then "Weiss" in script.  Also "Albert Weiss" and A W Co.  This last mark was started sometime in 1951.
 
Albert Weiss was president of his company and retired in 1969. One of Albert's sons, Michael, continued the business for a short time but finally Weiss Jewelry closed it's doors in 1971.
