Star-Art vintage costume jewelry
Confirmed by time quality, rare Star Art sparkling decorations have survived to our days. They are unusually beautiful and have a traditional filigree design accented with AB Aurora Borealis rhinestones. Noteworthy, in the 1950s Star Art launched one of the most popular series “Jewels by Helene”. Sold in original boxes, each piece had “Star Art” and “Sterling Silver” on the back and a foiled tag “Jewels by Helene”.
In fact, the new York based Star-Art jewelry company existed for about 40 years – from the 1940s to the 1980s.
As a rule, Star art craftsmen used sterling silver and gold (indicated on the stamp), sometimes wired coating that gave silver strength and prevented oxidation. An important element of design included filigree details. Also, transparent crystals, multi-color rhinestones, or art glass imitating natural gems. Traditionally, the Star-art motif is floral and leaf patterns, bows and hearts.
Undoubtedly, all Star-Art pieces are rare and desirable for vintage jewelry collectors.
