PLEASE READ THE STORY OF B. DAVID JEWELRY:

B. David Jewelry was made from 1943 until 1993 in Cincinnati, Ohio, quite far from the plethora of other American costume jewelers who were typically located in or near New York City.

The vintage jewelry we know as B. David Jewelry also was set apart from the crowd by its style. B. David vintage jewelry pieces tended to be small (in scale) and elegant as opposed to some of the larger and flashier vintage jewelry makers’ pieces. B. David jewelry can be described as delicate, often demonstrating eye-catching combinations of different-sized, rhinestones, such as round and teardrop shapes in the same piece. Typical B. David pieces also exhibit attractive pastel colors.

B. David vintage jewelry pieces may be signed “B.David” in an oval, “bd” printed diagonally, or “b.David” in a divided square. Earrings may have an etched swirling design in place of a signature or mark on the clip back.

B. David was a small company and did not produce large numbers of its pieces. But, the company was in business for about 50 years, so, still, it is not too hard to find B. David jewelry.

Of particular interest to collectors are the B. David costume jewelry sets: of a necklace and earrings or a pin and earrings.
