Signed Jilbari vintage costume jewelry
The history of the Jilbari jewelry brand began in January 1978 in New York, founded by Barry Roberts. The company for the production of high-end costume jewelry “Jilbari Designs, Ltd.” ceased to exist in November 1993. Accordingly, any jewelry of this brand is vintage.
Jilbari designers handcrafted high quality runway and modernist jewelry, mainly clip-on earrings. Jewelry designs and materials are varied – 24-carat gold, silver, enamels, semi-precious stones, as well as metal alloys and rhinestones. Exquisite haute couture and modern designs, high quality materials and craftsmanship have enabled the company to sell its products to major luxury department stores, retail chains and jewelry boutiques in the US and Europe. Among them, in particular, were Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s, Bergdorf Goodman, I Magnum, Bullocks, Harrods and many others.
The maker’s mark on the oval cartouche included “Jilbari” and a copyright mark. Noteworthy that , most pieces were not labeled at all and were sold in branded boxes or with paper tags from boutiques and department stores.
