Vintage Weiss Green & Aurora Borealis Rhinestone Cluster Clip-On Earrings | Mid-Century Austrian Crystal Costume Jewelry
Elevate your collection with these vintage Weiss rhinestone clip-on earrings, a stunning example of mid-century American costume jewelry design. Crafted by Albert Weiss, these earrings feature a radiant cluster of emerald-green rhinestones accented with luminous Aurora Borealis (AB) crystals, creating exceptional depth, sparkle, and color play.
Weiss Jewelry was founded in New York City in 1942 and remained in operation until 1971. While the company assembled its pieces in the United States, Weiss was especially renowned for importing high-quality leaded crystals from Austria, prized for their brilliance, clarity, and precise faceting. These superior crystals are a key reason Weiss pieces remain highly sought after by collectors today.
The green rhinestones are richly saturated and jewel-toned, evoking the look of emeralds, while the Aurora Borealis crystals—introduced in the 1950s through a collaboration with Swarovski—feature a patented iridescent coating that reflects flashes of rainbow light depending on movement and angle. This AB finish gives the earrings their unmistakable vintage glamour and dimensional sparkle.
Designed in a classic cluster silhouette, these clip-on earrings embody the bold elegance of the 1950s–1960s, making them perfect for vintage enthusiasts, collectors of designer costume jewelry, or statement styling for special occasions.
