Goldette Silvertone Ram Earrings

Another find this week that I love!  These cool "Aries" silvertone earrings were made by Goldette, most likely in the 1960s or 1970s, when their jewelry was extremely popular.  The Circle Jewelry Company marketed this high quality costume jewelry under the trademark name Goldette.  Ben Gartner started this company in 1958 which ceased operation in 1977, making this jewelry a bit rare and quite collectible.

Goldette jewelry was designed and marketed in New York City, but its production was outsourced to a facililty located in our good ole Providence, Rhode Island!  I am convinced that living in New England is ideal for a costume jewelry collector.  I also plan on soon making a trip to some vintage shops in Rhode Island to see what other great items I can find!

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece.  Questions, comments, and additional information are always appreciated.  My online shop on http://www.ebay.com/ is coming soon.
