James H Hall vintage costume jewelry
The history of Providence Rhode Island based jewelry company James H. Hall Co Inc began in 1962. The company handcrafted animal design jewelry for about two decades and ceased to exist before the 1980s. Noteworthy, the alternative name for the company and its brand name was “Yankee Silversmiths”. Accordingly, the marking may include both names “James H. Hall” and “Yankee Silversmiths”, or “YS”, and sometimes the purity of gold or silver. In addition to gold and silver, the craftsmen used bright color enamels.
