Anne Klein vintage costume jewelry
Born Hannah Golofsky 3 August 1923 in Brooklyn, Anna Klein has become synonymous with American style, and a pioneer in the fashion world.
Early 1940s, Hannah marries Ben Klein and became Anne Klein. In 1948, she and her husband opened the company Junior Sophisticates. And in 1968, Anna, together with her second husband Matthew Rubinstein founded “Anne Klein and Co” and “Anne Klein Studio design”. Sadly, at the height of her success, Anna Klein died of breast cancer on March 19, 1974. She was 50.
For over 30 years, Anne Klein understood what women wanted very well. So, in the early 1970s, Klein began producing watches and fashion jewelry. For creating high-quality jewelry in the classical style, she used matte and glossy metals, glass, rhinestones, cabochons and artificial pearls of the highest quality.
Noteworthy, “Anne Klein” collaborated with such brands as “Erwin Pearl”, “Accessocraft”, and “Swank”.
The logo “Anne Klein” is a lion, and this particular symbol has become one of the most popular designs in her jewelry. Traditionally, Anne Klein jewelry has markings “Anne Klein ©”, or “AK ©”. Also, the tag included the company logo – the image of a lion.
