About the Item
Hand-blown glass cobalt beads and black spinel beads are hand strung in this statement piece from the Early 1950s.
The history of the brand “Original by Robert” dates back to 1942. Founded by Robert Levy, David Jaffee, and Irving Landsman as Fashion craft Jewelry Company NYC, in 1951, it was renamed to Robert Originals, Inc.
After the Great Depression, the ladies of all ages wanted to look elegant and expensive. Therefore, a lot of magnificent jewellery pieces appeared in the 1940s. They were close to fine jewelry in quality and design, but more accessible. Also Hollywood screen divas added to the demand – they wore not only diamonds, but a luxury costume jewelry.
Original by Robert copied the style of the great Miriam Haskell. Made by hand, their jewelry ornaments are unique and expensive. In addition to jewelry made of beads, great popularity enjoyed the line made in Art Nouveau style, with the use of colored glass.

Celluloid was the first quality of plastics which was used, then followed Bakelite and Catalin. The invention of Bakelite took place in 1909. Sometime later Catalin was produced. Catalin was easy for mass production and at the same time affordable.
Du Pont is the pioneer in the field of Lucite and made it popular in the 1930’s as an alternative to Bakelite which was an expensive grade of plastic. Because of its versatility it became a popular choice for costume jewellery and became even more popular in 1950s for its Jelly Belly Jewellery...
