Rapallo vintage costume jewelry
The history of the Rapallo jewelry brand began 65 years ago in Cranston, Rhode Island. Founded by B.B. Greenberg Co. (jewelry manufacturer since 1961) in 1967, Rapallo trademark ceased to exist in 2007.
Traditionally, the company’s craftsmen used gold and silver tone metal, cultured pearls, enamel, art glass and rhinestones. A classic design with leaf and flower motifs, as well as animal and holiday decorations, this is Rapallo. Packaged in branded boxes, Rapallo jewelry was sold in boutiques and large stores. High quality handicrafts marked “Rapallo” are now rare and collectible.
Obviously, the name of the company comes from the Italian city of Rapallo, located 40 kilometers from Genoa. There are many historical monuments, including those mentioned in ancient manuscripts of the 6th century. For example, the Saints Gervasius and Protasius church. Rapallo is a very clean, noble and cozy city. Noteworthy, Hemingway liked to stay in one of the best hotels of the 19th century, located on a high bank near the port.
