Signed Vitoge vintage costume jewelry
The history of the Vitoge pearls and rhinestones costume jewelry brand lasted less than two decades. Incorporated in 1957 and headquartered at 153 E 26th St, Manhattan, New York City, Vitoge Mfg Co went out of business in the late 1960s.
The company, headed by Vincent Vitolo, produced gifts and accessories in addition to costume jewelry. Creating classic costume jewelry by hand, designers used gold-plated metal alloys, faux turquoise, pearls, glass cabochons, rhinestones, and enamel. The manufacturer’s marking includes the word VITOGE in capital letters, without a copyright symbol.
According to 1958-1963 catalogs of copyright entries, the company’s designers, in addition to costume jewelry, made candlesticks, frames, metal and jewelry boxes.
Today, Vitoge jewelry is extremely rare on the vintage jewelry market and is highly prized by collectors.
