This navette-shaped design was one of the most popular earring styles of the postwar period, produced by leading American costume jewelry houses. The stones are faceted glass, individually prong-set into silver-tone plated metal, a hallmark of Weiss construction known for precision, durability, and strong light reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Label:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFounded in New York in 1942 by Albert Weiss, the Weiss company specialized almost exclusively in rhinestone jewelry and became known for exceptionally high-quality glass stones and meticulous setting. Weiss pieces were American-made and prized for their clarity, weight, and craftsmanship, often rivaling higher-priced contemporaries. Floral and spray motifs dominated the brand’s 1950s output, and today Weiss remains a key name for collectors seeking mid-century costume jewelry with lasting structure and sparkle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eLength: 1.5” \u003cbr\u003eWidth: 1”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItem is in excellent vintage condition. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dee Hilfiger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46104433918105,"sku":null,"price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/3055\/4265\/files\/JewelryBag1-03_1440x2160_6e345390-abc2-4cc4-a12c-b47b5b4769a9.jpg?v=1771700030","url":"https:\/\/shopthesil.com\/products\/mid-20th-century-crystal-clip-on-earrings","provider":"The SIL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
