Signed Lisa vintage costume jewelry
Officially registered in 1964, Lisa Jewels company began creating costume jewelry in West Orange, New Jersey in 1962. It was a domestic profit corporation owned by a family couple Marian C. Botti (1919-2013) and her husband Elvidio Botti. Born in Kearny, New Jersey, Marian C. Botti (nee Vecchio) grew up and had lived her long life in West Orange. Elvidio and Marian had four children.
The creative duo handcrafted high quality and exquisite design costume jewelry, which has become highly collectible today. Traditionally, the craftsmen used silver and gold tone metal alloys, Austrian crystals, rhinestones, enamel and art glass. The design includes classic style, figural, animal and leaf motif brooches, pins and earrings. The marking on the back of each piece consists of the word “Lisa” written in fancy script on an oval cartouche, withought a copyright sign.
Founded in 1962, the company ceased to exist in late 1980s, due to the death of 76-year-old Elvidio Botti. After retiring and closing her jewelry company, Marian was active until her last days, working and participating in the social life of the city.
