Signed Roget vintage costume jewelry
Signed Roget vintage costume jewelry (1971-1980s)
The history of the ROGE’T™ costume jewelry brand began fifty years ago in Oakland, New Jersey, and lasted less than two decades. First used in 1971 and registered in 1976, the ROGE’T trademark, owned by M.G.M. Incorporated, ceased to exist in 1998. Noteworthy, the corporation mainly specialized in the production of cosmetics and perfumes.
The classic design of Roge’t jewelry traditionally includes elements of filigree, the use of textured and polished patterns, gild and silver plating, enamel, and semi-precious stones. The manufacturer’s mark is a stylized inscription ROGE’T™.
Like many cosmetics companies of the 1970-80s, M.G.M. produced limited series of costume jewelry for advertising purposes – charms, chains, necklaces, brooches and earrings. Among most famous cosmetics companies that launched costume jewelry lines were such iconic brands as Guy Laroche, Yves Rocher, Avon, Helena Rubinstein, Lancôme and many others.
