Krementz & Co. was founded in 1866 in New Jersey, USA, and operated until the end of the 20th century. One of the longest-running jewelry companies in America. The company is famous for its high-quality men's accessories (tie tacks, badges, cufflinks), as well as women's jewelry. 14K or 10K gold overlay or gold-filled is often used, sometimes marked only with "KREMENTZ" without a fineness. Gold-colored costume jewelry with crystal inlay, especially with insect motifs, became popular after the war - around 1950-1960. Such accessories were produced both as luxurious "lapel pins" and as decorative accessories for gifts, especially for holidays.
