A bit of history on bergère jewelry—I seem to find more of the metal pieces of bergère. They are very well made with great sophistication. I do have past sales of bergère rhinestone jewelry which are equally well made and beautiful. Something I found interesting personally is the type of ads they ran at times when other costume jewelry companies were running elaborate ads some of bergère's ads seemed to be very low budget. Possibly they wanted to emphasize that they were selling quality jewelry, not magazine ads. In other words, "Sell the steak not the sizzle." bergère jewelry was in operation from the 1946 through 1979. Produced by L. Erbert & Pohls Inc., bergère is known for being both statement pieces and high in quality. The jewelry was sold in high-end department stores including Marshall Fields, Lord & Taylor, and Nordstrom.
