ELZAC
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.
