Alva Studios Museum Replicas

Alva Studios Museum Replicas
New York based jewelry company Alva Studios manufactured unusual costume decorations, different from what we are used to. In particular, replicas of jewelry items of pre-Columbian cultures of the ancient Indians. Traditionally, the Aztecs, Mayans and Incas, were great specialists in the manufacture of gold products.
Founded in 1948 in Long Island, New York, Alva Studios existed until the 90s. Its founder, Alfred Wolkenberg (born in Vienna in 1911) immigrated to the United States in 1939. He had many artists and designers, whom he ordered to produce reproductions of ancient jewelry and sculptures stored in various museums around the world. For example, in the collection of the American Museum of Natural History, as well as other museum collections.
Noteworthy, the similar trademark owned by Alva Museum Replicas Inc. registered in 1960, ceased to exist in 1986.
