Some details about Banana Bob below: Made in the 1980s and 1990s, designed by former figure skater Annie Venditti, Banana Bob jewelry is famous for the intricate components and detailed layered designs. All of the jewelry was handmade, including gluing and setting rhinestones, hand enamelling and soldering metal layers, and as you can imagine it was very time intensive. The company no longer is in operation, due partly to the enormous amount of time to create and detail pieces which cut steeply into profits.The jewelry remains very popular among collectors . Banana Bob jewelry designs are often themed and elaborate. Designs are often asymmetrical as you ca see in my offeringsl. Banana Bob jewelry was made from very fine elements such as Swarovski crystal rhinestones and US made brass findings as well as vintage findings.. Beautiful to wear or collect.
