Little Nemo Sterling Silver And Faux Pearl Earrings

These dainty earrings were made by the Brier Manufacturing Company under the trademark "Little Nemo."  These earrings were made in the late 1950s or early 1960s and each feature a faux pearl attached to a Sterling Silver curved post with an unusual faux pearl backing. 

Brier was founded in 1911 by Benjamin and Charles Brier, and Samuel Magid, in none other than Providence, Rhode Island.  They employed over 200 employees and were the second largest jewelry company in the world next to Coro in the early 20th century.  Their jewelry was well made and often featured imitation diamonds and imported stones from around the world set in gold-filled metal.  The company ceased operations in 1978.
