Kalinger Paris vintage costume jewelry
The history of the Kalinger costume jewelry brand began in October 1986, with a small workshop founded by the couple Catherine and Laurent Martinez. Their family business – small boutique appeared at 28 rue des Archives, in the Le Marais district of Paris. Four years later, on 1 March 1990, the Martinez officially registered their Kalinger jewelry brand. The designers created the jewelry in a typical French style. In particular, massive appearance, large size, Byzantine inspiration, a combination of plastic, glass and metal with the effect of “crumpled” gold and gilding. Also, the designers used large stones of unusual shape imitating precious stones – “rubies”, “emeralds” and “sapphires”.
