Jewelarama vintage jewelry Difffraction Jewels
Located in Barrington, New Jersey, the jewelry making company Jewelarama was in fact, a branch of a large manufacturer of optics, Edmund Scientific Co.. First they released the series called “Difffraction Jewels” in 1960. Noteworthy, their decorations became innovative and unique in design. The centerpiece of every ornament was a round polished metal disc that reflected light. According to other sources, this series was known as “Refraction Jewels”. In the creation of jewelry craftsmen used silver and gold tone metal, and in the center of every piece was polished metal disk.
Costume jewelry lovers still enjoy their brooches and earrings in the form of musical instruments, flowers and animals. Rare on jewelry markets, made in 1960s Jewelerama pieces were featured in many catalogs of vintage costume jewelry.
