Signed Puccini vintage costume jewelry
The history of Puccini costume jewelry brand spans over 60 years and is associated with two companies. In particular, 5th Avenue NY, New York based company Puccini Jewels Inc. and Montreal, Canada corporation Manufacture De Bijoux Keyes Inc.
American costume jewelry brand Puccini appeared in February 1960. Registered officially in 1962, the company manufactured costume jewelry until 1999, and ceased to exist in 2003.
Montreal, Canada based corporation Manufacture De Bijoux Keyes Inc. (owner Issie Fisher) registered Puccini jewelry trademark in 1971.
High quality Puccini jewelry demonstrates classic and Art Deco styles. Traditionally for its time, both jewelry companies used alloys of gold and silver tones, gilding, enamels and rhinestones.
Noteworthy, the marking style of these companies differs. In particular, American pieces have marking PUCCINI in capital letters, while Canadian marking includes “Puccini” in script, and sometimes “Made in Canada”.
By the way, there is Puccini gold and diamond jewelry brand in Penang, Malaysia, but it has nothing to do with the Puccini vintage costume jewelry brand.
