" According to jewelry advertisements of the time, Krementz's jewelers used gilding 30 times thicker than that commonly used in the production of most costume jewelry. The intention was to create a high-quality line of jewelry to be sold in department stores. In 1920, the firm began manufacturing women's jewelry. Necklaces, brooches, rings, earrings, bracelets, and other types of women's jewelry quickly became popular. Not long after, by the 1930s, Krementz & Co began selling their products internationally. Krementz traveled the world in his hunt for rare gems, in places such as Myanmar, Burma, Sri Lanka, where few Westerners at that time had access and brought to America incredible stones that no one had ever seen."
