| H. Pomerantz Herman Pomerantz produced belt buckles, buttons, and jewelry from the 19th century, possibly as early as the 1890s. The company continued until about 1960. He patented several designs during the 1930s and early 1940s, and the patent drawings will soon be posted on this site. In the 19th century H. Pomerantz seems to have limited production to belts, buckles, book chains and buttons. I have an H. Pomerantz brooch with a C-clasp in my possession, but I believe it is a early 20th century piece. Pomerantz did make a great deal of very large Victorian Revival jewelry circa 1930-40. H. Pomerantz jewelry with textured backs and AB rhinestones were made circa 1960. There are at least 4 signatures: "H. Pomerantz & Co. N.Y.," "H. Pomerantz Inc. N.Y.," "H. Pomerantz Co." and just "H. Pomerantz." Some try to date the jewelry by the signatures, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason to them. Anyone who has information otherwise, please contact me. Thank you. I am currently researching H. Pomerantz accessories and jewelry and more information or corrections may be forthcoming. | |||

Fabulous H. Pomerantz Huge Maltese Cross Fur Clip
If you want a truly amazing jewel, this huge fur clip by H. Pomerantz might be just what you are looking for. The brass maltese cross motif is done in deep textured metal work with matte recesses and raised wire, polished and opening at the tips, like feathered wings. The centerpiece is set with large oval turquoise blue art glass cabochons; notice the cloudy white and gold aventurine matrix; turquoise doesn't do that naturally so these cabs aren't really faux turquoise but are true fantasy gems. Accented with white rhinestones and smaller round art glass cabs, the construction and style dates this clip to the late 1950s. If you don't wear fur you can run a chain beneath the pronged clasp and wear like a pendant. You can also place a large safety pin directly beneath the hinge and fasten it to your clothing as a brooch. But it's quite big and heavy, better for blazers or coats. This unusual piece is a full 4" on all sides. Condition is Excellent, with twinkling rhinestones and shining cabs. Signed on the back H. Pomerantz & Co. N.Y. $125

H. Pomerantz Antique Celtic Knight Belt & Buckle Circa 1890. A very unusual find intact. I have seen a photo of another H. Pomerantz warrior buckle--a Samurai. Perhaps H. Pomerantz made an entire line of warrior belts. If so, it would be quite a challenge to collect them all. The 3" x 2" buckle is of shining silvertone and gilded openwork stamped with clovers, vines, & various textures. There are also applied metal embellishments, including the centerpiece bearded Celtic knight, his armor designed in a convex cross shape. He rises about 1/2" high; at first I thought it might open, locket style, but there are no hinges. The belt itself is made of a remarkable gold tone flexible tank-track style engraved linkage, about 1 inch wide. The belt clasps at 28-30." The buckle can be removed of course, to add to another belt if desired. Belt and buckle are both in Very Good condition; there's a bit minor wear on the gilding showing through silvertone. The blackish color is tarnish on the back of the buckle and in depressions. Marked H.POMERANTZ & CO. N.Y. $125.00 |
