STARET is a jewelry company about whom little is known. The jewelry was made for a brief period in the 1940's, and they were probably located in Chicago. There have always been rumors that they were affiliated with Eisenberg, but this has been denied by Karl Eisenberg.  Staret pieces are generally large, and the settings are often enameled pot metal. 

STARET jewelry is big, showy and fun to wear. The best pieces combine enameling and rhinestones like many of the ones shown below. Staret collectors love the big hand brooches, especially the Staret torch, the company's most recognized piece.
