Initially, B. David was founded in the post-war years, namely, in 1946 and was just a family jewelry store located in Cincinnati (Ohio, USA). However, well-known and popular, it lasted 47 years until it ceased to exist in 1993.
Until 1955, the company worked exclusively with jewelry materials, but then the active development of competitors, who changed from precious metals to the production of costume jewelry, forced David to consider his other positions in the jewelry market, reducing their cost. Meanwhile, his jewelry was just as “understated elegance,” especially when compared to other pompous jewelry of the 1950s.
In particular, they were often smaller and performed in a balanced color scheme. A distinctive feature of B. DAVID’s jewelry was the use of full-color “rainbow” stones.B. David jewelry company specialized in parental crown brooches, or Mother’s brooches – it was a very good idea, embodied in a whole series of collections! In a word, the jewelry created by B. David has become a real legend and a masterpiece of American jewelry art! This “parent” brooch in the form of a colored crown was a wonderful gift for a mother after the birth of a child.
It is noteworthy that you will not find two identical crowns, each of them is unique. These brooches had a full set of rainbow crystals and stones, with the name and wishes of the newborn. Unlike the jewelry series, these jewelry were made of rhodium-plated jewelry alloy with Austrian crystals of various cuts and colors, imitating precious stones, and cultured pearls , as well as crystals with a rainbow effect “Aurora Borealis”.
Another important fact is that there were times when women actively fought for their rights, and they wore jewelry with meaning, and good Masters actively followed their clients. Since each stone corresponded to a letter of the alphabet, often the bracelet or brooch was engraved with “Freedom.” Later, declarations of love themselves began to “hide” in jewelry created as a sign of love.
