Regency costume jewelry
The history of American costume jewelry brand Regency began in New York City in the 1950s. Founded by the Polowitz family who owned Regina Novelty Company, which ceased to exist in 1973. Due to the short period of its existence (1950s – 1973), the company has created not so many jewelry collections. Accordingly, all Regency creations is a good find for collectors of vintage costume jewelry, the price of which grows every year.

Traditionally recognizable classic style of Regency is always royal! Faithful to this direction throughout its twenty-year existence, the favorite motif of Regency bijoux was a butterfly, made in bright unexpected shades and spectacular forms. Also, many decorations have leafy and floral motifs with the rich use of high-quality rock crystal in contrasting or complementary color combinations.

Noteworthy, renewed in 1973, Regency trademark owned by W. Bell & Co., Inc. ceased to exist in 1995.
