Jones New York vintage costume jewelry
The history of the American vintage jewelry brand Jones New York spans a rather short period of 1975-1985. The brand was one of several registered trademarks of the Jones Apparel Group, Inc. located in Rittenhouse Bristol PA. The Corporation owner Sidney Kimmel made it the fastest growing American company for the production of sportswear, women’s and men’s clothes. In addition to clothes, they manufactured accessories, watches and costume jewelry. The company went through bankruptcy in the 1980s, but later revived again. Jones Investment Co. Inc. re-registered the JNY jewelry brand in 2004, but since that time watches and jewelry of this brand have been produced in Asia, mainly in China.
