USA Avon Brand Vintage Marcasite Inlaid Black Onyx Silver-tone Ear Clip, Imitation Jade Cube Gold Ear Clip

▰▰▰▰▰▰AVON▰▰▰▰▰▰ Today's well-known Avon, originally founded as the California Perfume Company in 1886 by David H. McConnell in New York, was renamed Avon in 1938. With over 130 years of history, it is currently the world's second-largest direct sales company. How did a company that started with perfumes and cosmetics eventually develop a jewelry business? It began in 1963 when Avon's branded jewelry was purely a gift for promotional giveaways or high-tier customers. By 1965, it started being 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 Mark: ©Avon Era: 1985/1992 Materials: Plated Alloy, Black Onyx, Celluloid Dimensions: Black Onyx Ear Clip approx. 1.7 × 2.3 cm; Imitation Jade Cube Ear Clip approx. 1.9 × 2.2 cm Condition: Excellent, with minor signs of age Notes: Includes complimentary silicone ear clip pads ▰▰▰▰▰▰ABOUT THE VINTAGE JEWELRY KIOSK▰▰▰▰▰▰ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51673204030_863373c623_c.jpg ✧I✧The curator personally selects jewelry and vintage pieces from around the world, including the US, Canada, UK, Spain, Germany, Italy, and Japan, dating from approximately the 1920s to the 1990s. ✧II✧As these vintage pieces have weathered decades, even deadstock items may not be in pristine condition. **Please communicate and consider carefully** before purchasing. ✧III✧Any flaws or signs of wear on vintage jewelry are accurately depicted in the photos. **Please examine them closely** before purchasing, and feel free to inquire via email. ✧IV✧Vintage pieces are generally tidied up before sale; they are not excessively cleaned.
