Wlind vintage costume jewelry
The history of costume jewelry brand “Wlind” began in 1968. Traditionally made of gold or silver, with the use of rhinestones, faux pearl and enamel, each piece has marking. In particular, SP Wlind (silver plated Wlind), or G.E. Wlind (Gold Electroplate), or just Wlind.
Made in 1960-1980s, Wlind vintage decorations are collectible. Originally, the trademark was a division of the marketing company Suarez Corporation Industries, based in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1990, the company working in the area of jewelry production changed name to Lindenwold Fine Jewelers. The company became a supplier of fine and fashion jewelry, and one of the largest direct-to-consumer jewelers in the world.
Noteworthy, the Lindenwold Fine Jewelers company faced at least two lawsuits. First, for copyright infringement for selling a jewel that imitated necklace in “Titanic”. Second, for misleading marketing practices in the sale of loose Cubic zirconia stones.
