Richard Krementz
Richard Krementz was an American jeweler and the founder of Krementz & Company, a fine jewelry manufacturer that was established in 1866 in Newark, New Jersey. The company was known for its high-quality, handcrafted pieces and became famous for its use of patented gold electroplating techniques that produced long-lasting, lustrous gold finishes.
Richard Krementz and his company were also pioneers in the use of synthetic stones in jewelry, which made high-end pieces more accessible and affordable for a wider range of customers. The company produced a wide range of jewelry styles, from Art Deco and Art Nouveau to Mid-Century Modern designs, and was a favorite of both Hollywood stars and American presidents.
Today, Krementz & Company is still in operation, and continues to produce fine jewelry that incorporates the classic designs and techniques that were established by Richard Krementz over a century ago. Many of the company's vintage pieces are highly sought after by collectors and are considered rare and valuable examples of American jewelry design.
