EISENBERG
Eisenberg has made
jewelry for over eight decades, from the 1930's to the present.
Eisenberg marks include "EISENBERG" in all capital block letters, 1945-1958;
"Eisenberg Originals" 1935-1945; "Eisenberg Sterling" 1943-1948; and
"Eisenberg Ice", 1970-present. Some early Eisenberg
pieces are unsigned, and there was also a
period in the late 1970s to
the 1990s when the company did
not mark all of their jewelry.
Eisenberg did not design their own
jewelry in-house. Starting in 1940 it was designed by Ruth Kamke who
worked for the manufacturer Fallon and Kappel in New York (she also
designed for Panetta later for about 15 years). F&K had a mutually
exclusive arrangement. Eisenberg was made only by F&K, and F&K only
made Eisenberg. That all changed in the mid-1970s when F&K suddenly
closed. After that it is difficult to determine who designed what.
More information about Eisenberg Jewelry is in
Jewel Chat Magazine (click here), and
Eisenberg Ads (click here).
