Celebrity NY vintage costume jewelry
The American jewelry brand Celebrity N.Y. existed for a short period of time, from the mid-1950s to early 1970s. Celebrity designers created bright jewelry, usually choosing rhinestones imitating natural stones: amethyst, emerald and ruby. As well as beads, almost indistinguishable from real pearls.
Noteworthy, craftsmen manually inserted rhinestones and faux pearls into intricate metal frames.
Like the owners of the Sarah Coventry and Emmons brands, Celebrity did not open boutiques. They distributed jewelry only at fashion parties, access to which was not for all. Thus, the company fueled interest in their “exclusive” jewelry, and secondly, could keep reasonable prices for products.
Celebrity produced bijoux in the early 1970s. Apparently, the owners of the company tried to confront the impending crisis. They even began to advertise their jewelry in fashion magazines, but it did not bring success due to the general decline in interest in costume jewelry in the 1970s.
