Krementz & Co is one of the oldest and largest manufacturers of luxury jewelry in the United States, dating back to 1866. The firm is known for its high-quality pieces and pure refinement.
Founded by George Krementz, the company thrived over the ages and has become world-famous. It has produced many extraordinary jewels, with fascinating designs, and careful craftsmanship for every taste and every pocket.
The name "Krementz" on a piece of jewelry means skill, knowledge, and high-quality materials.
Vintage and antique jewelry collectors are quite familiar with this historical brand. Interestingly, a rather large collection of Krementz jewelry was aboard the Titanic when it sank, since the brand was extremely popular at that time.
Krementz is well-known for its masterful use of gold gilding. Because of this, their decorations look absolutely authentic.
