Leritz vintage costume jewelry
The history of the Spanish jewelry brand Leritz began in the late 1970s in Barcelona, ​​and lasted no more than two decades. Faced competition in the 1990s, European costume jewelry companies were forced to move production to Asian countries, where materials and production were cheaper. However, small companies simply closed down or stopped making jewelry and accessories. Among these companies was Leritz Bijoux, Sl.
Leritz costume jewelry is famous for its unique style, high quality, and diverse designs. In the manufacture of jewelry, designers used traditional materials – gold-tone alloys, rhinestones, art glass imitating natural stones and faux pearls. Also, an important feature of the design was the use of multi-colored, including glitter enamel. The color scheme of one collection can have a fairly large number of shades and various color variations. For brave and strong-willed women, designers chose bright, saturated warm colors, and for modest women, cold, translucent ones.
The maker’s mark includes “LERITZ” in block capital letters on a rectangular cartouche.
