Elzac Inc. Manufacturers produced novelty jewelry during World War II.
Headquartered in Los Angeles, this company used innovative materials
such as ceramic, lucite, fur, feathers, cloth, and wood in unusual,
whimsical ways. These fun pieces were constructed and finished entirely
by hand. Elzac was founded in 1941 and achieved great success and
popularity over the next several years, during a period when more
conventional jewelry materials were in short supply. In 1943 the company
launched its "Black Magic" line. This trademark was found on jewelry
that was primarily black in color. The popularity of Elzac's style of
jewelry waned rapidly after the war, and the company appears to have
been out of production by 1947.
