Joseph and Louis Mazer embarked into the
jewelry world with their company in 1927. Sometime after World War II,
they parted company with Joseph Mazer forming his own company and using the
Jomaz mark. Thus, pieces marked Mazer Bros. are those from
prior to 1946, while
later pieces bear the marks of either Mazer or Jomaz. Mazer pieces have
always been known for excellence in both workmanship and design. |
