The history of the Tru-Kay jewelry brand began over 76 years ago in Lincoln, Rhode Island. Founded in February 1946, Tru-Kay Manufacturing Co. was a family business headed by Alan M. Kaufman, its president. The company handcrafted high-quality classic design jewelry using 12K and 14K gold, sterling silver, cultured pearls, genuine coral, jade, shell, Austrian crystal or rhinestones. The markings on the oval cartouche included the initials TK and the hallmark of gold. In addition, most of the jewelry sold in large stores was packaged in beautiful branded boxes with a foil tag and a stylized Tru-Kay logo.
Noteworthy, in 1982 the company became part of the Richline Group Inc. and received the alternative trade name Belair Mfg.
