Ciner Jewellery, founded in 1892 by Emanuel Ciner in New York, began as a fine jewellery establishment before transitioning into high-end costume jewellery in the 1930s due to economic changes.  Renowned for its quality craftsmanship, Ciner's pieces often feature intricate designs, using materials like Swarovski crystals and 18k gold plating to mimic the luxury of fine jewellery.  Known for its detailed work and iconic pieces like the 100-year anniversary bee brooches stamped with "1892," Ciner jewellery has adorned celebrities and is highly sought after in vintage markets.  Although Ciner NY ceased operations in 2022, its legacy of elegance and innovation in costume jewellery continues to captivate collectors and fashion enthusiasts alike.
