Those pieces were largely the Art Deco designs & monogram pins made of sterling silver decorated with marcasites popular back then. Schreiner started making soldered metal settings later in the decade, however, & a shift in style took place. The company's designs became even more imaginative as Schreiner began ordering special Czech stones in distinctive colors & shapes. One of the myths associated with Schreiner is a deep connection to the House of Dior since some of their designs are similar in nature. Most stones came from pre-war Czechoslovakia, then from Germany (where the stones were made by Czech immigrants). Some stones were made especially for Schreiner. Their keystones (kite-shaped crystals that were Schreiner's signature stone) were made by Czechs in post-war Germany. These stones were used in the ruffle pin Terry designed in 1957 & in Maltese crosses. No trademark was registered for the company. Only pieces made for department stores were stamped "Schreiner" or "Schreiner New York". Jewelry made for the fashion houses was not signed. Even without the maker's mark, many Schreiner pieces can be identified because of their distinctive style, elaborate designs, & high-quality of materials.
