ABOUT LISNER

The History of Lisner

Lisner Jewelry Company, founded by David Lisner and his son, Louis Lisner in New York City, was a prominent costume jewelry manufacturer from the 1920s through the 1970s. Specializing in producing affordable yet stylish jewelry pieces made from base metals, rhinestones, and other materials, the company was known for its elegant designs during its peak in the mid-20th century.

The jewelry, often featuring intricate metalwork and sparkling rhinestones, was popular for its quality craftsmanship and affordability, making it accessible to a wide audience. Lisner offered a wide range of styles, from delicate brooches and earrings to bold statement necklaces, catering to various tastes. The brand also innovated in marketing strategies, using various promotional techniques to reach consumers.

Due to changes in fashion trends and market dynamics, the Lisner Jewelry Company ceased operations in the late 1970s. Despite its closure, collectors and enthusiasts continue to seek vintage Lisner pieces for their charm, craftsmanship, and historical significance in costume jewelry.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR VINTAGE JEWELRY

Vintage Jewelry Care

Always 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.
