Lindsay Claire Designs vintage costume jewelry
The history of vintage jewelry marked “LCD” (Lindsay Claire Designs) began on July 1, 1993, and spans a fairly short period, just over a decade. Located in Niagara Falls New York, the company thrived until the early 2000s. In 2006 Canadian couple Gord and Donna Doeler bought LCD and the company moved to their hometown of Barrie, Ontario. The Doelers had been making fine pewter products for 12 years before retiring.
Since 2018, the new owners of LCD – well-known US manufacturer of pewter gifts and collectibles Hampshire Pewter, located in Somersworth, NH.
However, it is the hand crafted LCD-labeled costume jewelry, mostly lapel pins made from fine pewter between 1993 and the early 2000s that is considered vintage and highly collectible.
