About Marcus & Co: Founded in New York in 1892 by Herman Marcus and his sons, Marcus & Co. became one of America's most distinguished jewelry houses. Known for its exceptional craftsmanship, inventive designs, and beautiful use of precious gemstones, the firm created jewels that rivaled those of Tiffany & Co. Its work spanned the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods, producing everything from exquisite enamelwork to sophisticated diamond and colored gemstone jewelry. The firm closed in 1942, and its finest creations remain highly sought after by collectors today.
