The Names That Defined Vintage Style

Designers / Brands

Signature houses, iconic makers, and collectible design legacies.

The history of jewelry design is written in signatures. From American and European costume icons to artisan silversmiths, each name represents innovation, craftsmanship, and influence. Collectors know the value of a maker’s mark — it’s provenance, artistry, and story combined. Featured names include Trifari, Miriam Haskell, Juliana (DeLizza & Elster), Kenneth Jay Lane, Napier, Eisenberg, Ciner, Monet, Whiting & Davis, Sarah Coventry, and others who built the golden age of costume jewelry. Behind them came the artistry of Mexican silversmiths like Margot de Taxco, Los Castillo, and Spratling; Scandinavian masters including Georg Jensen, David-Andersen, Tone Vigeland, Hans Hansen, and Björn Weckström of Lapponia; and North American studio jewelers whose craftsmanship continues to shape the market.
