Dalsheim vintage costume jewellery
The history of Dalsheim jewelry brand began in the late 1930s, founded by Maurice J. Dalsheim. New York City based Dalsheim Accessories Inc. produced necklaces, bracelets, brooches, pendants and earrings. Traditionally, the craftsmen used bronze, or silvertone and goldtone metal bases. For decorating they used fresh water and faux pearls, art glass imitating topaz, sapphire, emerald, amethyst, and onyx. Also, Austrian glass crystals, rhinestones and carved Lucite of various colors.
Popular fashion magazines, including Vogue (1958) advertized Dalsheim jewelry.
Noteworthy, the early products of Dalsheim didn’t have marks on them, and they released their costume jewellery with paper labels. The first marked jewelry appeared in 1939, and in 1955 they added the copyright symbol. Incorporated in 1934, Dalsheim Accessories Inc. ceased to exist in 1956.
