The family of Schreiner Jewelry are still alive and kicking. Mom, Terry, is 89, and can't believe how my parents, and grandfathers creations have become so collectable. My dad's , Ambros, famous ruffle pin retailed for $7.50 in the mid 1950ss. It now often sells for over $750.00. She is also very unhappy of crooked dealers claiming they have unsigned Schreiner, when it's not even close to anything we produced. I have written a dealer in Cal. several times to remove things that are clearly not Schreiner. She accused me of being another dealer trying to make her look bad... really! Buyers beware of anything unsigned unless you have experience identifing Schreiner pieces, and don't believe them if they claimed it's verrified. Sometimes I will post on a piece if it is clearly a Schreiner piece, and allow the seller to use my post. Many books have poor information about my family's business. One dealer claimed Sphinx is a hallmark of Schreiner, and listed some book from the 70ss, that stated it. Schreiner Jewelry was only made in NYC, not in Europe, or any place else. We did design for many of the best ready-to-wear, designers of the 30ss- 70ss, that was sold to them unsigned, but only made by us in NYC. These pieces were sold with the garment. Hope this helps new collectors, and best of luck to you!

Hello beekeeper. Hope you are having a great weekend I have a pair of dangle earrings with a baroque pearl and am wondering if they are yours (if not, I'm left with Richelieu or Weiss since Weiss offered the same earrings as yours in the att. 1964 ad I found which is the closest I could find to mine). Thanks in advance for your comments.

Yes, these are ours.

ebay should step in and have items sent through authenticator. Just like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Nike, Coach, and other items on this platform. Which is nice that they do that. Verifications weather it's fake or not through seller and buyer. ebay acts as mediator.

Hello..,My EBay user ID is: met56opera
This is my photo. While I’m flattered that you used it to describe distinct construction, I’d have appreciated asking permission to use it. No big deal. Just a courtesy.
Am enjoying and learning so much from these discussions. Very interesting and informative. Thank you for taking the time to address each and every inquiry in great detail.

It happens that people believe just because a piece is NOT on Schreinery.com that it’s not Schreiner. Which is completely false. I’ve submitted many signed and unsigned Schreiner to be added but they delete my request every time…..Very frustrating.

Beautiful brooch in elegant muted hues. Stephen mentioned the ‘molded’ or ‘pressed glass’ pear-shaped stones in Ruby-red. I have a beautiful brooch of such. Backside is just as intricate and intriguing as the front.

Yes! I was the seller of that same brooch/pendant without the chain. One of my favorite pieces with copper setting. Glad to see it again.

@met56opera , I've been following you for a long time and am in awe of your pieces. You are one of my, if not my, favorite seller!

Again, I’m truly flattered that you’re using my photo to show specific examples of your dad’s brilliant workmanship. Please, I’d appreciate asking my permission as a courtesy.
One of my favorite Schreiner brooches. So fun to photograph as the multi dimensional structure is interesting. And those molded glass leaves are exquisite.
Thank you so much.

Awe, thank you very much! I’m so smitten with beautiful objects. My heart pitter-patters to no end. And selling these outstanding Schreiner pieces is like selling one of my children! Lol

Oh! Don’t get me going on all the so called ‘Schreiner’ pieces out there. I’d say at least 80% of those ‘Schreiner’ are not. I’m the Schreiner Police! I can’t help but message these sellers informing, very nicely of course, that what they they’re selling is NOT Schreiner but…so and so..To me it really is disrespectful to the great artistry of Schreiner to integrate their junk as such. It’s exhausting! And frustrating….

REPORT THEM TO THE SCHREINER POLICE🔥

Don’t get me going on that site’s issues either. I was selling an unsigned Schreiner brooch that was exactly the same as a signed one on Schreinery.com…I had permission from the owner to use her photograph for my listing. The next thing I know, EBay removed it as it had been reported to be counterfeit!!!! Huh?!?! The hench-woman from the site reported me to EBay Not to go on and on, but she did it twice, then told EBay sellers of Schreiner jewelry to block me. And anyone else the same. I was dumbfounded, needless to say.
