USA Avon Vintage: Minimalist Rope Twist Knot with Rhinestones, Gold-Tone Small Stud Earrings / Clip-Ons

▰▰▰▰▰▰AVON▰▰▰▰▰▰ The Avon brand, familiar to many today, originated as the California Perfume Company, founded in New York in 1886 by David H. McConnell. It was renamed Avon in 1938, giving the company over 130 years of history. It is currently the world's second-largest direct-selling company. How did a company that began with perfumes and cosmetics evolve into the jewelry business? It started in 1963, when Avon's branded jewelry was initially offered solely as complimentary gifts or tokens for high-value customers. By 1965, it began to be sold in small quantities alongside Avon products. The first collection of Avon jewelry, launched in March 1967, was named "The Precious Pretenders." Due to the immense popularity of Avon's jewelry collections, a dedicated jewelry section appeared in Avon catalogs starting in 1971. By 1975, Avon had become the largest manufacturer of costume jewelry of its time. ▰▰▰▰▰▰VINTAGE JEWELRY DETAILS▰▰▰▰▰▰ Brand Marking: A dot within a circle (Avon's production mark) Era: 1999 Materials: Gold-plated alloy, rhinestones, steel posts Dimensions: Approximately 1.2 cm in diameter Condition: Excellent, with minor signs of age.
