I’m a big fan of Goldette vintage jewellery and recently added two beautiful vintage necklaces to the shop. Here’s a little bit of information about the company and the styles of jewellery they produced.
Goldette was a line of jewellery made by Circle Jewellery Products – New York City. Founded by Ben Gartner in 1958, the company produced a wide range of high quality costume jewellery up until its closure during the late 1970s. The company produced both signed and unsigned pieces of jewellery. Marks used by the company included Goldette NY ©, ©Goldette and Goldette ®
Goldette jewellery was manufactured in New Jersey and designs were influenced by a number of different styles including, Victorian, Oriental, Native American, Art Nouveau and Roman. They were particularly famous for their sliding charm bracelets which are now very collectable as well as their lockets, leaded glass sets, fobs and cameos. Their jewellery was made using silver and gold tone metals, often decorated with faux gemstones, seed pearls and diamante embellishments. Clasps were intricately detailed which can help with the identification of unsigned pieces.
