Victorian Trading Co costume jewelry
Founded in 1987 by Melissa Rolston, Victorian Trading Co. was a home-based business designing retro greeting cards. However, soon the company has developed the production to antique inspired replicas.
Located in Los Angeles, USA, the jewelry company Victorian Trading Co. produces retro inspired Victorian era items, including fashion, footwear, home and furniture decor, as well as collectibles. Victorian Trading vintage style decorations preserve the glamour and romance of a bygone era. Lovingly handcrafted, these jewelry pieces produced in late 1990s – early 2000s as copies of vintage costume jewelry, have gradually become vintage items themselves. Noteworthy, they have become the subject of collecting.
According to the information on the website, the main jewelry designers who work for the company are Shelley Cooper and Anne Koplik.
Traditionally, when creating costume decorations, the designer uses various metals, such as brass, bronze, jewelry alloy, gold and silver tone metal and sterling silver. Also, porcelain, marcasite, enamel, Czech and Swarovski crystals, rhinestones, and freshwater seed pearls.
