Whiting and Davis vintage costume jewelry
The history of Whiting and Davis jewelry brand began in 1876, when three men met in Boston, Massachusetts. Willian H.Wade, Edward P. Davis and Louis Heckman organized a small workshop for making silver jewelry. And in 1886 they named their company Wade, Davis & Co.
Noteworthy, their first debut collection (featured in fashion magazines) appeared in August 1886. It consisted of silver jewelry, popular in the late Victorian era – bracelets, earrings, pins and brooches. Also, in the 1950s they began producing jewelry with cameos, pendants and earrings and charm bracelets.
Founded in in 1876, the Whiting and Davis Company became known for its fine evening bags, wiped out of gold and silver threads.
In 1907, the company began to produce silver and gold plated jewelry – necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Traditionally, the design includes Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Egyptian and Victorian era motifs. Notable are golden and silver mesh necklaces in the shape of ties, and highly valuable among collectors spiral bracelets in the form snakes.
