Norbert and Max Neiger began making Jewellery in 1905 in the town of Gablonz, Czechoslovakia. Their fame reached its height in the 1920's as they created exquisite pieces of costume jewellery and scent bottles using Bohemian glass. The Neiger Brother's took advantage of the Egyptian Revival craze, beginning with the discovery of King Tut's tomb in 1922. They further added more "exotic" lines, with Chinese and Indian motifs producing hypnotizing brooches, beautiful beaded necklaces and fascinating bracelets, all of the highest quality.

 In 1938 Gablonz was taken as part of the German Reich - the Neiger's initially escaped into the adjacent Czech, part of Bohemia, where they continued to work on a small scale. They were later arrested in Prague and in 1942 they tragically met their end at Auschwitz.
