Cadoro vintage jewellery
The history of Manhattan-based Cadoro Jewels Corp. began in 1954 founded by two friends Steven Brody and Daniel Stoenescu. The creative duo of designers handcrafted limited edition costume jewelry, sold in Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. Their motto was “Famous Jewellery to the Rich and Famous!”. Among their customers were the Duchess of Windsor and Barbra Streisand.
One of the founders, Steven Stuart Brody (1919 – 1994) graduated from Wharton School in Pennsylvania, then from the Curtis Institute of Music. For a short period he worked as an actor in radio soap operas, then went to Paris. There he met his future partner Daniel Stoenescu (1921 – 1970), who was initiator of the idea to launch jewelry business together.
Traditionally, the company’s craftsmen used metal alloys of gold and silver tone, rhinestones and glass crystals from all over the world, seed pearls and natural stones.
