How do I identify the maker of my vintage uranium glass jewelry pieces?
Some jewelry pieces have a maker's mark that can identify who made them. I recommend getting a jewelers loupe so you can read the marks easier

Lang Antiques has a fabulous catalogue of jewelry maker's marks

Since a great deal of vintage uranium glass jewelry is Czech, knowing how to identify Czech jewelry can be helpful

Lots of jewelry can be unsigned, but can be identified by its construction and findings.
Juliana is one such company. Juliana frequently used uranium glass in their pieces. Here is a full catalogue of their pieces

Another popular unsigned uranium glass jewelry maker is Neiger Brothers. Neiger is almost impossible to verify. Please do not identify something as Neiger unless you are completely sure! 99% of pieces on the internet identified as Neiger are not. See next FAQ for more on this.
Many, many uranium glass jewelry pieces do not have a clear maker. These are known as “unsigned beauties.”
I am happy to try to date and identify a piece for you. Please email me info@storyshapedstudios.com with clear, bright photos of the front and back of the piece, as well as the clasp, with measurements if you can.
