The history of “FO Inc.” jewelry trademark began in the jewelry capital of the USA – Providence, Rhode Island. Registered in 1974 by a hereditary jeweler Fernando Ronci, his private company “Fernando Originals Inc”, located in North Providence, ceased to exist in 1996.
Traditionally, the craftsmen of the company handcrafted exquisite high quality costume jewelry. Most often, they produced clip on earrings, and less often pendants, necklaces and pins. Their abstract and haute couture style, so popular in the 1980s, brought fame to the company. Noteworthy, FO craftsmen used gold tone metal and enamel, and didn’t use rhinestones. Also, they labeled their products with the acronym “FO Inc” and a copyright sign, without a frame.
Today Fernando Originals has become collectible vintage.
