Vintage Danecraft 24k gold over sterling butterfly brooch. (Vermeil). New old stock. On original card. Originally sold for 60.00. 13 In the early 1900s, as Italy was continuing to become the world leader in fashion, the Primavera family worked as jewelry artisans in the beautiful area of Pescara, Italy. In 1918, the family founded Primavera Designs and by 1921 it had become the largest jewelry company in the Abruzzo region. ​ It was there that the family became well known throughout the region for their ability to design and make jewelry for royalty and wealthy families. Often one of the Primavera jewelry artisans would go directly into the home of a patron to design and reproduce a cherished object of art into jewelry. ​ This continued in Italy until 1934, when Mr. Victor Primavera, Sr. immigrated to the United States and incorporated his company in Rhode Island; the jewelry capital of the United States. Primavera Designs now had a United States division, known as Danecraft, with a small factory and Mr. Victor Primavera, Sr. heading up the design and model making teams.
