In the 1930s, the company transitioned to costume jewelry to adapt to the economic challenges of the Great Depression. This change allowed Ciner to bring fine jewelry craftsmanship into the world of costume pieces, setting it apart from competitors.Signature Style and CraftsmanshipCiner designers stood out by meticulously crafting each piece and using high-quality materials. Artisans hand-set Swarovski crystals, glass cabochons, and faux pearls and plated the jewelry with 18-karat gold. These techniques ensured that Ciner’s creations looked and felt as luxurious as fine jewelry.Design InspirationThe company drew inspiration from classic elegance and bold, whimsical themes. Designers frequently incorporated flora, fauna, and exotic motifs into their work, creating intricate animal bangles, oversized brooches, and dramatic necklaces. These designs captured mid-20th-century glamour and remain iconic today.Celebrity and High Society AppealHollywood stars, socialites, and fashion elites embraced Ciner’s jewelry. Celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor and Joan Rivers frequently wore their pieces. Over the decades, collectors and vintage enthusiasts continued to treasure Ciner for its enduring quality and timeless appeal.Modern LegacyFor over a century, the Ciner family upheld the tradition of handcrafting every piece in New York City. Despite its long success, the company permanently closed in 2022 after the passing of the last family member in the business, Pat Ciner Hill, in 2023. This closure marked the end of an era for the brand.CollectibilityCollectors value vintage Ciner pieces for their extraordinary craftsmanship and unique designs. Many enthusiasts seek animal-themed bangles, crystal-encrusted brooches, and other signature items highlighting the brand’s historical significance and artistry. HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR VINTAGE JEWELRY Vintage Jewelry CareAlways handle vintage jewelry gently and store it carefully between wearings. Keep each piece in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches, tangling, or metal abrasion. Avoid contact with water, perfume, hairspray, and household cleaners, which can dull finishes or weaken settings. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away oils and dust. For metals and stones, use a mild, non-abrasive jewelry cleaner suited to the materials. Never submerge rhinestone or glued pieces in water or use ultrasonic cleaners, as moisture can damage the foil backing or loosen stones. With proper care, your vintage jewelry will retain its beauty and character for years to come.Buy our favorite jewelry cleaner here. SHIPPING & RETURNS We ship items within five business days.
