DeNicola
DeNicola Jewelry is a vintage costume jewelry company that was founded by Jerry DeNicola in 1957. The company is known for its high-quality, unique designs that incorporate a variety of materials, including rhinestones, beads, and enamel.
Jerry DeNicola started the company in Rhode Island, which was then the center of the costume jewelry industry. He began by making jewelry in his basement and selling it to local shops. As his business grew, he moved the operation to a larger facility and began hiring more workers.
DeNicola Jewelry became known for its innovative designs, which often incorporated natural elements like flowers, leaves, and animals. The company produced a wide range of pieces, from simple earrings and brooches to more elaborate necklaces and bracelets.
Over the years, DeNicola Jewelry gained a devoted following and became highly sought after by collectors. In the 1980s, the company was sold to a new owner, but it continued to produce jewelry until the early 2000s.
Today, vintage DeNicola pieces are highly prized by collectors and are considered some of the most beautiful and well-made costume jewelry of the mid-20th century.
