The history of American jewelry company Vintage Creations Ltd. began in 1973 as a family business of Murray Shapiro and his wife Mildred. Originally, the company’s name was Heirloom 73 (2073) Jewelry Ltd., located at 242 West 30Th St. New York, New York. Seven years later Murray and Mildred Shapiro’s son Drew joined the family business. Since July 12, 1982 the company began manufacturing finely detailed handcrafted Art Deco old style costume jewelry with “Vintage Creations” marking.
Traditionally, the craftsmen used 925 sterling silver, marcasite, onyx, crystals and various gem stones. The marking, alongside with “sterling” and “Vintage”, has a small stamp consisting of a stylized “H” and the number “73” inside it.
Noteworthy, the company ceased to exist in 1991. According to sources, one of the designers of Vintage creations was Jenna Nicole, who later registered her own jewelry company.
