Kandell & Marcus NY vintage costume jewelry
New York based jewelry company Kandell & Marcus produced high quality jewelry in 1940-1950s. Active in the middle of the last century, Kendall & Marcus NY was very famous jewelry brand, and the reason why they stopped designing decorations remains unknown. Accordingly, their high quality limited edition handmade jewelry is rather hard to find.
Traditionally, the jewelers of this company produced fine jewelry inspired by the culture of Victorian epoch, as well as the Art Nouveau style, popular in the early 20th century. The materials for the production of costume jewelry usually included sterling silver, brass, metal alloys of gold tone, multicolor rhinestones, cabochons, crystals and enamel.
Noteworthy, the designers marked their decorations on the reverse with the full name of the company – Kandell & Marcus NY.
