Phyllis vintage costume jewelry
Founded in Providence, Rhode Island in 1946, M. & S. Manufacturing Co Inc launched Phyllis and Phyllis Original trademarks on production of costume jewelry. The trademarks ceased to exist in early 1960s. The company made costume jewelry of silver, sterling silver or with 12 K gold plating on a metal base. Basically, the designers of this company adhered to the Art Deco style, with an abundance of diamond style stones, crystals and rhinestones.
Traditionally, all products of this company have the marking – 1 / 20-12 K GF and Phyllis on the back of the products. Initially, the products had marking “Sterling Phyllis” in cursive (before 1948). Noteworthy, products signed with Italian name “Scitarelli” also belong to Phyllis.
Rare quality costume jewelry and luxurious accessory of this brand has already moved into the category of antique, and is highly collectible.
