The bee represents perfect community, and although it is weak in body, it is strong in spirit and wisdom.

Herbert Rosenthal
His jewelry company was founded in New York in 1945, when they manufactured decorations for Christmas trees. In 1962 the corporation registered two jewelry trademarks, “HR” and “Accent On Value” (1962-1984). Active for twenty-five years, HR jewelry trademark ceased to exist in 1987. Traditionally, the company produced finger rings, bracelets, brooches and pins with the use of 18 K gold, silver and precious stones.
