Signed Regel vintage costume jewelry (1932-1950s)

The history of jewelry marked Regel or A.Regel began in 1932 in Providence, Rhode Island. According to some sources, Regel operated in Cranston, Rhode Island, while other sources point to Warwick, Rhode Island. However, long before entering the United States, Regel operated in Pforzheim, the jewelry capital of pre-war Germany. It is noteworthy that Regel was a manufacturer not only of jewelry, but also of men’s accessories, such as lighters. By the way, the German word “Regel” means “rule”.

Registered in the USA, A. Regel company continued to produce lighters and high-quality jewelry using gold, silver, cubic zirconia and Austrian crystals. The jewelers handcrafted classic ornate brooches, pins, necklaces, pendants, clip-on earrings with floral and leaf motifs, bows and circles, and often with filigree elements. The maker’s mark traditionally includes a stylized “A Regel” or “Regel”, 10-14 K gold or sterling silver.

Today, Regel jewelry is rare and highly prized by collectors and lovers of antique and vintage jewelry.
