Discovery of California vintage costume jewelry
The history of Discovery Jewelry Company began on July 30, 1975 in California. It was a Domestic Corporation located at 325 M Sharon Park Dr Ste 218, Menlo Park, CA 94025, headed by its president Gail Burke. The company manufactured handcrafted costume jewelry with the use of gold and silver tone metal alloys. Most famous are their pet, heart and musical instrument designs implemented in pins, earrings, pendants, charms and bracelets. Traditionally jewelry was sold on hallmarked cards, with printed on them in gold or silver color “Discovery of California” and a lily flower. Some pieces, however, have the same marking on the reverse.
Discovery Jewelry Company went out of business in 2001, and Gail Burke has registered another company Gail Burke & Associates, Inc. on 13 Aug 2001, which is still active.
Noteworthy, around the same time, there were two Discovery brands for costume jewelry in the United States. In particular, Discovery by Oak Patch Gifts Limited Liability Company (founded in Eugene, Oregon), and Discovery by Empress Pearls, Inc. However, both of these companies are not affiliated with Discovery of California.
