The history of Har jewelry spans a short period of little more than a decade, founded by Hargo Creations in the 1955 in New York. Initially, it was a family business of Joseph Heibronner and Edith Levitt, a husband and wife since 1952. Unfortunately, the company ceased to exist due to the death of Joseph in August of 1968.
Noteworthy, HAR Jewellery produced various collections which became incredibly popular among collectors of vintage costume jewellery worldwide. In particular, “Cobra,” “Laughing Chinese”, “dragon’s teeth”, etc.
The company produced costume jewellery in limited quantities, and their designs include exotic scenes and colors. Characteristic signs – green enamel, inlaid with “fantastic” stones.
Every year these decorations are increasingly difficult to find. Of course, any information about the history of HAR jewelry increases its cost.
