The history of ZR costume jewelry brand began in Paddington West London in 1969, founded by iconic English designer Zandra Rhodes.
Born 19 September 1940 in Chatham, Kent, British fashion designer Zandra Rhodes produced fashion collections, and bright costume jewelry. Her first eccentric collection of clothes, as well as handcrafted jewelry for it, appeared in 1969.
Noteworthy, such talented designers as Andrew Logan and Mick Milligan made jewelry for her clothing line. All ZR jewelry decorations demonstrate her bright personality, that collectors really appreciate. Zandra’s first big hit came in 1977 with holes and beaded dresses she created ten years before Versace.
In August 2011 she launched “Zandra Rhodes for Adele Marie” jewellery collection made in collaboration with Adele Marie London. The collection includes iconic textile designs made by Zandra in 1960s and implemented in jewellery.
