De Mario
De Mario jewelry was a high-end costume jewelry brand that was in operation from the 1940s to the 1960s. The brand was founded by Robert De Mario, who was originally a lampworker and beadmaker before transitioning to jewelry-making.
De Mario's designs were known for their intricate beadwork, often featuring colorful glass beads, rhinestones, and faux pearls. They were also known for their use of filigree and other metalworking techniques. De Mario jewelry was often sold in high-end department stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Lord & Taylor.
The brand was very successful during its heyday in the 1950s, but it eventually went out of business in the 1960s due to changing fashion trends and the rising popularity of cheaper, mass-produced jewelry. Despite this, De Mario jewelry remains highly collectible today among vintage jewelry enthusiasts.
