Goldette vintage costume jewelry
The history of Goldette jewelry brand began in 1955, thanks to its founder Ben Gartner. The owner of the trading company “Circle Jewelry Products Company”, he launched a line of exquisite jewelry under the brand name “Goldette N.Y.”. Noteworthy, the production of Goldette jewelry took place in Rhode Island, but the jewelry design was developed in New York.
Traditionally, Goldette jewelers used silver and gold tone alloys and beautiful antique color, known as Russian gold, metal. In addition, they complemented design with handmade cameos made from natural shells, intaglio with genre scenes, legionnaires’ profiles and neat female heads. Also, Austrian crystals of high quality, art glass, rhinestones and cabochons.
To develop a unique style, Goldette N.Y. jewelers used the best traditions of Art Deco, Art Nouveau and the Victorian era jewelry.

Until 1958, the marking included “Goldette N.Y.”, and from 1960 © Goldette and Goldette®. In addition, up to 1977, there was a laconic label “Goldette”. However, not all decorations had stamps on them. Despite this, identifying “Goldette” jewelry is not difficult – their design is so special and recognizable.

Unfortunately, in 1977, the company “Goldette N.Y.” ceased to exist, but the love of women for this brand still lives.
