Signed Denbe vintage costume jewelry
The history of the Denbé jewelry brand owned by J. J. Denberg Co., covers a rather short period, just over a decade, starting in 1950. Founded by Joseph Denberg (1899 – 1973), the company was headquartered in Manhattan, in a 12-story building, at 366 Fifth Avenue, New York.
Handcrafted necklaces, brooches, bracelets and earrings demonstrate exquisite design and high-quality that have stood the test of time. Traditionally, Denbé jewelers used the best Austrian crystals, baguette rhinestones, art glass, Aurora Borealis rhinestones, baroque and faux pearls, rhodium, gold, silver and metal alloys.
Maker’s mark on an oval cartouche included the word Denbé in a fancy script without a copyright mark.
The company ceased to exist in the early 1960s, according to scant data, as well as jewelry available on the vintage costume jewelry market.
