The iconic Krementz brand began in the 1860s, when George Krementz founded his company in Newark, New Jersey. Initially, the company created men’s jewelry, but in 1920, it began the production of jewelry for women. Traditionally high-quality products, Krementz became popular thanks to the use of high-gold gilding. Because of this, their decorations look authentic. From the start Krementz craftsmen used gold inlay and gilding 30 times thicker than commonly used in the manufacture of expensive jewelry. The intention was to create something in between a jewelry and precious jewels. Krementz continued to produce gilded jewelry until 1980. The company was in business for 160 years. 

Collectors’ favorites include brooches with roses, beautiful, elegantly shaped, usually gilded with different colors of gold — pink, yellow, white, and green.
