Antique 1919-1950 15” signed Marvella 18 simulated pearl necklace

This New York company's most well-known lines feature faux pearls, but they used many different materials including crystal beads and rhinestones. Marvella originated as a line of jewelry manufactured by the Weinrich Bros. Co. The Jewelers’ Circular published in 1919 refers to the Weinreich Brothers located in Philadelphia where the company was founded in 1911. At some point, the brothers moved their business to New York City, as referenced in 1950s jewelry patents registered by the company. The company changed its name to Marvella, Inc. around 1965 after several iterations of similar names. Marvella was purchased by Trifari in the early 1980s and eventually became part of the Liz Claiborne group. As of 2010, jewelry was still being distributed in department stores and other retail outlets on cards bearing the Marvella name.
