Below is a fabulous Black Diamond parure by Albert Weiss. The Black Diamond series was created by Albert Weiss in the 1950's. The ad that ran in Vogue reads "Especially created for the smart new smokey-toned fashions. Distinctive grey Austrian rhinestones accented with tiny shimmering crystals designed by the pace-setter of fine jewelry, Albert Weiss". Fine jewelry designers have revived this combination in genuine black and white diamonds.
