Ciner NY Short bio:
“In 1892 Emanuel Ciner opens a fine jewelry company on Maiden Lane in Lower Manhattan. With a small, but uniquely skilled staff. Irwin Ciner was instrumental in improving the company’s rubber molding, casting, and enameling techniques. The Ciners became the first and only American fine jewelers to make the switch to manufacturing high-quality costume jewelry. Recognizing the need for quality costume jewelry with the same appeal as fine jewelry allowed Ciner to survive the Great Depression.
During WWII, consumer use of metal was severely restricted. This almost bankrupted CINER- until the family offered its unique molding technologies to the US military. Used for munitions and other applications, these war time efforts kept the Ciners in business.
In 1946, Ciner starts advertising in national magazines such as VOGUE and Glamour with the slogan, “Look for the Sign of Ciner”
In 1992, Ciner celebrates its 100th Anniversary- a milestone recognized by the New York Times, Women’s Wear Daily, fashion magazines and by many admirers of the Ciner tradition. Ciner starts designing and selling private label collections to retailers and designers worldwide
Ciner is featured in W Magazine’s iconic July issue with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt shot by Steven Kline. In this famous story “Domestic Bliss”, Angelina wears Ciner earrings in several of the photographs.”
