Claudette vintage costume jewelry
The history of vintage jewelry with the Claudette label spans a fairly short period, about a decade. The trademark belonged to the American company Premier Jewelry Co. Inc. based in New York. The first products of this brand appeared in December 1945 and were produced until the mid-1950s. Accordingly, it is quite difficult to find Claudette marked jewelry.
Traditionally, Claudette are handcrafted, exquisite jewelry pieces made of multicolor thermoplastic (synonymous with Bakelite). Also, gold and silver tone alloys and Aurora Borealis rhinestones. Thermoplastic with a special moon glow in various colors and shades is the most characteristic feature of this brand’s jewelry. In addition, the most typical are sets of two or three items – brooches and bracelets, clips and necklaces. The costume jewelry of this brand is highly collectible.
