Costume jewelry of this brand is rare in the market of vintage costume jewelry. According to sources, the company created in 1951 in New York, supposedly existed until the end of the 1980s, since products of a later period are not found.
Traditionally, the jewelers of this company used metal alloys of gold and silver tones. Also, there are jewelry pieces made of sterling silver and 14 carat gold. Often, when creating many jewelry, designers used ceramics and hand-painted enamels. The maker’s mark includes the copyright symbol and initials LG on an oval cartouche. Noteworthy, jewelry pieces of the same period marked LG within an artist’s palette don’t belong to Lind-Gal, they are creations by a Providence artist jeweler Louis Giusti.

One of the designs of this company was a touching series of humanized animals, released in the 1950-60s. Among these sad and cute animals carrying a sack on a stick are a turtle, a dog and an elephant. According to belief, Lind Gal loved cats, that’s why we can see this animal in various designs of his figurative brooches.
