This was a high end costume jewelry company founded by Louis Kramer in 1943 in New York City. He named the company "Kramer Jewelry Creations". Their well designed pieces specialized in rare stones, quality rhinestones, and beads which many times were incorporated into figural and whimsical pins. During the peak years of the company, 1950's through 1960's, Kramer made jewelry for Christian Dior. These pieces are highly sought after and therefore valuable collectibles. The business sadly closed its doors in 1980 because of cultural changes which were looking for more natural type jewelry instead of the striking glamorous statement making jewelry which Kramer was so famous for.
