Signed Two Sisters vintage costume jewelry
American jewelry designers Lauren And Leah Medici were active for about three decades (late 1960s – 1992). The designers drew inspiration from classic craftsman and the culture of ancient civilizations, interpreting them in their unique designs. They produced limited edition series of costume decorations, for example ‘Glitter critters’, “Parisian Palettes”, ‘Whimsies’, etc.
Traditionally, the designers of this company used a metal alloy of glossy or matte gold tones, rarely – silver tone. Also, faux pearls, artificial sapphires and rubies, rhinestones and art glass, mother-of-pearl and enamel. Handcrafted with great attention to detail, this vintage jewelry has become collectible.
All decorations featured in this publication – signed vintage made in 1970-1992. Original vintage decorations have marking of copyright sign and “two sisters” on the back side. Noteworthy, later decorations provided with paper tags, with the brief information about the design, are made in Taiwan.

According to trademark sources, in 1992 the owners of the company “Two sisters” were two companies “Royal Items Inc” (Broadway, New York) and Lorenzo Demedici, Inc (404 Fifth Avenue, New York). Besides, the “two sisters” became just a pseudo mark and didn’t identify particular individuals (since 1992). The production of jewelry moved to Taiwan, but to date, the company is inactive.
