OSCAR HEYMAN & BROS. IS AN AMERICAN JEWELRY FIRM AND MANUFACTURER THAT FIRST GAINED ATTENTION IN THE 1920’S. IN 1906, OSCAR AND NATHAN HEYMAN IMMIGRATED TO THE UNITED STATES FROM LATVIA. THANKS TO AN APPRENTICESHIP AT THEIR GREAT-UNCLE’S FABERGE WORKSHOP, THEY ARRIVED WITH A SKILL THAT MADE THEM INSTANTLY EMPLOYABLE: THEY COULD WORK WITH PLATINUM, A METAL RELATIVELY NEW AT THE TIME. OSCAR WAS HIRED TO WORK IN CARTIER’S FIRST NEW YORK WORKSHOP AT 712 FIFTH AVENUE, HE WAS THE FIRST NON-FRENCH BENCH JEWELER HIRED BY THE FIRM. WHEN THE WHOLE FAMILY MOVED TO NEW YORK IN 1912, OSCAR, NATHAN, AND HARRY HEYMAN FOUNDED THE COMPANY IN 1912. THEY WERE LATER JOINED BY THEIR THREE YOUNGER BROTHERS, GEORGE, WILLIAM, AND LOUIS, ALONG WITH TWO SISTERS, FRANCES AND LENA.
