SCHREINER

Here, for the first time, is the complete and remarkable story of the legendary costume jewelry company, Schreiner.

Filled with never-before-seen photographs and personal recollections from the private archives of the Schreiner family, this monograph will be an invaluable resource for jewelry aficionados and fashion enthusiasts. Schreiner opens a sparkling window to the fashion world of New York City from the 1930s through the 70s—and onto one of its most famous “unknown” jewelry designers, whose work is today more highly sought after than ever before. With original research by Eve Townsend and a richly curated display of jewelry from the world-renowned Carole Tanenbaum Vintage Collection, this project presents a layered look at Schreiner while highlighting their distinct and bold designs.

Founded by Henry Schreiner during the early 1930s in New York, NY, Schreiner quickly became synonymous with glamour and fashion. Operating as a family business for over forty years, the Schreiner Jewelry Company was known for using rare stones, unusual color combinations, and unconventional designs.
