Product Details

Condition as pictured Reja was established in New York City in 1941 by Rosa Kasoff, quickly gaining a reputation for producing some of the most sophisticated and inventive costume jewelry of the era. The company's pieces often featured intricate metalwork, dramatic dimensional designs, and high-grade rhinestones that rivaled fine jewelry. Although the company had a relatively short operational life span ending in the 1950s, its marked pieces remain exceptionally sought after by collectors. During the 1940s, wartime metal restrictions pushed designers to innovate with creative settings and striking geometric motifs, often incorporating black enamel and clear stones for maximum visual impact. Reja jewelry perfectly captured this glamorous aesthetic, offering stylish women bold statement pieces for formal wear. Today, signed Reja creations are cherished highlights of mid-century American costume jewelry collections.
