NOTE:
George Krementz, a German immigrant, went to New York to apprentice in the jewelry trade, and in 1866 founded Krementz & Co in Newark, New Jersey. Krementz perfected a manufacturing technique for gold overlay used gilding 30 times thicker than that commonly used for costume jewelry. Krementz began to produce woman's jewelry circa 1920, including necklaces, brooches, rings, earrings, bracelet, etc. In the 1930s, Krementz & Co began selling their popular products internationally. Krementz jewelry items are still quite collectible and due to the unique gilding technique.

The gold foil tab in the box is marked 14KT GOLD OVERLAY
