Vintage Jewelry Designer - Who Am I?

This is another in my ongoing guessing game series about popular vintage jewelry designers. I'll give you some clues and pictures and you see if you can guess which designer it is. Ready?

Here are your clues:
  • The dates of operation of the company are 1927 to the present day.
  • The company was founded in Providence Rhode Island
  • Design Characteristics: Very good enamel designs, fashionable and well priced, good quality jewelry with a nice finish
  • This company was one of the principle suppliers of department stores in the 1940s
  • Considered a medium end designer
  • Their Christmas designs are popular and collectible
  • The company changed hands several times through the years. Owners were General Mills, Crystal Brands, and Liz Claiborne
Here are some pictures of my designs:


I am considered a medium end designer and my pieces are fairly easy to find today. For more information and the answer to today's riddle, you can go to this designer page of the resource library on my website Vintage Jewelry Lane. (answer is also shown reading backwards at the bottom of this blog post.)

I'll be doing more of these riddles over the next weeks and months. Have fun with the series. Answer: (read it backwards) tenoM

Show your personal style with charm necklaces

Interested in a piece of jewelry that will show your own unique style? Think charm necklaces. Charms are not just for bracelets any longer. The latest rage is large pendant style charms on big chain necklaces.

I've just purchased a large inventory of these fabulous charm necklaces. Each necklace features a large single link goldtone chain with a lobster claw clasp (signed LCI - Liz Claiborne). The necklaces have a wondeful festoon bib design and are just loaded with big chunky charms in a wide variety of themes.

Some of the charms include figurals such as cats, dogs, foxes, dolphins, owls and eagles. Others are religious in nature with crosses or Buddha figures. Some are novelty such as carousel horses, stars, etc. Some even have a Christmas design with Christmas stockings and Christmas trees.

The necklace featured here has horses, teddy bears, buddha, alien figure and more. It's so chunky and retro looking and will really make a statement. These are not tiny charms such as those found on charm bracelets. Many of these charms are 1 1/2" or more in size.

I've got four of them listed now, but I'll be listing the whole collection in my ebay store Carolina Collections Vintage Jewelry this week. But don't delay. At only $29.99 and best offer, they won't last long!
