Marino vintage costume jewelry
Located in Pawtucket Rhode Island, American jewelry company Marino Jewelry Co. Inc. was active in the middle of the last century. Founded in 1932, it ceased to exist in the late 1970s. Noteworthy, the last mention of the company and an advertising poster with its decorations appeared in Vogue magazine in September 1978.
However, according to other sources, Marino Manufacturing Company, located in the capital of the jewelry world – Providence, Rhode Island, was active from 1957 to 1983. Perhaps these were two companies of the same name that produced costume jewelry in the middle of the 20th century. Besides, this explains the various markings on their decorations. In particular, some vintage items have marking “By Marino”, while others – simply “Marino”.
Traditionally, Marino-marked jewelery is high-quality products made from textured or polished metal of silver or gold tone. Exquisite design, attention to detail made these bracelets, brooches and necklaces very popular with lovers of costume jewelry. Also, Marino jewelry design included artificial pearls and cabochons imitating natural stones. Undoubtedly, Marino vintage jewelry is a rarity and desired for collectors. Accordingly, the price of Marino decorations will only increase with each passing year.
