Other famous clients of Florenza were Coro, Weiss, Hattie Carnegie, Capri and Kramer. Florenza-made and Florenza-marked jewelry and boutique items, such as vanity dresser products, decorative accessories, (key chains, lipstick caddies, picture frames, jeweled vanity boxes, nodding animal pin cushions and saccharin holders) were sold in fine department stores throughout the U.S. – including Lord & Taylor, Bloomingdales, Sax Fifth Avenue, Bonwit Teller.
Florenza produced wonderful Victorian revival examples in ornate brooches, bracelets, Necklaces and earrings. Only the finest stones were used from Austria, Germany and the Orient – many made especially for them. Their cameos had two styles – hand carved shell made in Italy , Wedgwood Mocha – all were mounted in ornate 24k gold plated settings, as was all their antiqued jewelry. Other exclusive finishes used in their jewelry was termed Florenza Gold, French Gold and French Rose. The famous cheetah brooch with a moveable tail is one example of their innovative creations. Some popular styles were repeated for several reasons but there was always something new introduced.
