Jewels by Bogoff vintage costume jewelry
The history of Bogoff jewelry brand began in the early 1940s in Chicago, founded by Henry Bogoff. Incorporated in 1946, the company Jewels by Bogoff ceased to exist in 1958.
Henry Bogoff, had wide connections in business, which allowed him to communicate with high-class jewelers. Thanks to this, he could practically copy their creations in his own jewelry. Bogoff handcrafted jewelry had a very high reputation for quality, and a lifetime warranty. The company invented many ways to create individual elements of jewelry, as well as the designs of jewelry, and patented their creations in the 1940s-50s.
Traditionally, the marking included “Bogoff”, and after the 1955 appeared a copyright sign.
Once one of America’s leading costume jewelry companies, Bogoff ranked third after such giants as TRIFARI and CORO. They patented many new elements, subsequently widely used in the manufacture of costume jewelry.
The company was a regular advertiser in the leading fashion magazines of the time, including Harper s Bazaar and Vogue.
