KREMENTZ Antique Leaf Gold Plated Bracelet

Gold Plated Krementz Leaf Bracelet Rare Brand mark: Krementz© Year: 1970's Material: alloy gold plated Size: width 3/8", chain length @ 8" Clasp: Buckle Antique jewelry collectors must be quite familiar with Krementz, known for its design and quality that can withstand the test of time. Among them, the most respected is the specially processed gold-clad material. The 5% gold content makes the jewelry surface look like the real one. Like the K gold jewelry, it also positions the product between the cheap jewelry and the real gold jewelry. Founded in New Jersey in the 1860s by George Krementz, Genung & Krementz, later renamed Krementz & Co., initially produced men's jewelry and, by 1920, started a line of women's jewelry. And thanks to its high-quality craftsmanship, design and materials, Krementz began selling its products internationally as early as the mid-1930s. Krementz's career is right in the era of Art Nouveau and Art Deco. They have absorbed rich artistic nutrients, which is why collectors are flocking to them. By the 1980s, the owner, Richard Krementz, began producing jewelry from precious metals and semi- Gemstone. By the late 1990s, the Krementz family is said to have sold all of their business.
