Fred Gray Corp vintage costume jewelry
The history of American jewelry company Fred Gray Corp spans a short period of 1930-1940s.
According to sources, Fred Gray was one of the leading designers of the famous jewelry company Coro for some period of time. Having gained invaluable experience and skill, he founded a costume jewelry company under his name “Fred Gray Corp”. Noteworthy, initially Fred marked his products on the reverse side with the letter “S” inside a tiny star, and sometimes there was also a mark “made in the USA”. However, later, after the founding of his own company, the products had marking “Fred Gray Corp”.
Traditionally high-quality, the jewelry of this company is made in the Victorian or Art Deco style, so popular in the 1930s. The material for creating jewelry is also traditional for that time period – silver tone pot metal with an abundance of multicolor crystals and rhinestones, as well as enamel and lucite.
