Jonas Eisenberg emigrated to the United States in 1880 from Austria and founded his company in Chicago in 1914 making and selling high quality but ready-to-wear clothing. Jewelry was not introduced until 1930 to complement to their clothing line, and were typically sold as part of the garment but were also sold individually in a blue velvet box marked Eisenberg & Sons Originals. Jewelry became so popular that they stopped selling clothing in 1958.
The company was purchased by the Berns-Friedman group in 1977.
