Located in Warwick, Rhode Island, Doreen Ryan Company Inc was active for a decade, from 30 Jan 1996 until 7 Oct 2002. The company produced high quality pieces inspired by animal world and nature, with a modernist touch. However, Doreen Ryan began creating jewelry long before 1990s, when she collaborated with Mr DeLizza. According to his memories, with his help she became major supplier of belts and jewelry to the industry. Also, in the 199s, she was designing under the name “Laiasia”. Traditionally, the designer marked her pieces with full name Doreen Ryan, or DR with a copyright sign. Now collectible vintage, her gold tone animal design belts and pins are truly pieces of art.
