Based in Virginia, Lady Remington Fashion Jewelry Inc worked under this name for a fairly short period from 1986 to 2004. Jewelry of this brand is rare, since it was a side line (jewelry production) of the famous Remington company. Its founder was Victor Kiam, owner of New England Patriots and president of Remington Products.
According to him, he liked razors so much that he bought the company. In 1986, Victor Kiam bought Act II jewelry company for direct sales and renamed it into Lady Remington.
However, already in 2004, his son renamed the company into Lia Sophia, in honor of his two daughters. As for Lia Sophia, it was a direct selling jewelry business which involved thousands of women as independent sales representatives in the tradition of Avon and Tupperware.
However, the company has gone out of business 28 years later, in 2014.
Noteworthy, the marking includes LR and sometimes 925S (925 silver). Traditionally, jewelers used 925 silver, gold and silver tone metal, faux pearls, stones, rhinestones and enamel.
