Earrings by Alice Caviness -Pineapple and Pearl

Alice Caviness, a fashion model who became a clothing designer, ventured into the Vintage costume jewelry business in 1945, just after the end of World War II.  She was an impeccable dresser and had a definite flair for imaginative clothing and jewelry. She founded Caviness Jewelry with her husband, Jules Junquerra (who had first been in the lampshade business) and they made some pieces, commissioned others and also imported some of the jewelry from Europe.
