Michele Lynn vintage costume jewelry (1982-2003)
The history of Canadian vintage costume jewelry brand “Michele Lynn” spans not more than two decades. Registered in December 1982 at Campobello Rd, Mississauga, Ontario L5N 2L8, Michele Lynn Fine Fashion Jewellery Inc. ceased to exist in January 2003.
Traditionally, the craftsmen of this company used metal alloys, 24-carat gold, silver and gold plating. Also, crystals, faux pearls, rhinestones, enamel, and even porcelain. Made in 1980-90s, the styles and designs of these brooches, pendants, and necklaces range from abstract and geometric to classic cameo and figural.
Marked on the back, each piece includes stamp “Michele Lynn” in capital block letters on an oval base.
Hard to find today, these high quality handcrafted vintage jewelry pieces are very collectible.
