Masterpieces of Alice Caviness Costume Jewelry
American jewelry designer Alice Caviness started making jewelry right after the Second World War. Based in Long Island, New York, her company continued production after her death in 1983.
For the production of jewelry she used high-quality materials and crystals of unusual colors. Labeled “Alice Caviness”, her jewelry pieces are rare and very popular among collectors.
Noteworthy, on the design and production of jewellery worked Caviness herself and Millie Petronzio who worked for Caviness until 1982. However, at that time Millie Petronzio became head designer for Miriam Haskell.

Because it was a special line of jewelry with much fewer pieces produced comparing with Trifari, Coro and many other designers, Caviness jewelry became difficult to find. Sold in high end boutiques, her jewelry is rare and, accordingly, sought after by collectors.
