HAR JEWELRY

HAR

The HARGO Jewelry Company of New York made
jewelry from the late 50’s to 1968. Some of their best
pieces are the wildly creative figural brooches with fantasy stones like those
shown below. Although some Har pieces resemble jewelry by the Art
jewelry company, Har also used certain stones in common
with Florenza.

A very kind woman contacted me in early 2023 to say this:
"The company was started and owned by my aunt Edith Levitt and Joseph
Heilbrenner. It was named after Joe’s two children, Hans and
Margo, and the company was called Hargo. Jimmy was their designer
and every week Aunt Edie (Mother’s sister) would come over to give my
sisters and myself new pieces for our dress up corner. Uncle Joe died in
1968, and no more jewelry was made after that."

stones lined with gold. In the middle of its body is set a line of rose cut strass stones. On its head is set an old mine cut strass
stone. The end of its curly tail shows 39 rose cut diamonds. Engraved with a date: ‘Le 6 juin
