Attwood and Sawyer vintage costume jewellery (1956-2001)
Founded in Wales in 1956 by Horas Atwood (Sauer was a partner), Atwood and Sauer produced copies of precious ornaments from the 18th to 19th centuries. Noteworthy, the company made jewelry for the television series “Dallas” and “Dynasty”, as well as for the beauty contest “Miss World”. In addition, the firm produced high-end imitation jewelry and sold their decorations at prestigious retail outlets across the UK, Europe and some other countries around the world. Also, A&S distributors sold jewelry on cruise ships and on board of Airliners.
A special recognition was given to their historical collection of exact copies of the jewelry of the Duchess of Windsor. Undoubtedly, these specimens are desirable for many collectors of vintage jewelry.
The A&S company ceased to exist in 2001 when Buckley Jewellery Ltd bought it.
