Already in the 80s, Joan Rivers became a star of the first magnitude among American viewers after the frequent replacement of TV presenter
D. Carson in the famous national television show “The Tonight Show of Johnny Carson”.
The actress plays in films, voices animated films (“Shrek-2”, “Spaceballs”), and is active in social work.
In 1990, Joan launched a line of fashion jewelry and accessories with David Dangel. David, a three-time haute couture nominee, has a wealth of experience in fashion and jewelry design, with extensive connections to fashion editors, journalists, stylists and photographers. Their tandem has developed due to the general high level of taste, passion for beautiful, fashionable things and a sense of humor.
Joan Rivers jewelry can hardly be called vintage, since it was created quite recently, however, in all items of this brand, the style of the thirties and forties of the last century that prevailed in the United States at that time is observed.
Two main themes can be traced in jewelry by Joan Rivers: the first is the “Russian theme” in the jewelry. This is the famous Cossack brooch, and bracelets in the shape of Faberge eggs strung on a thread, and the domes of St. Basil’s Cathedral, of incredible beauty that can be worn on the lapel of a jacket.
Joan’s second theme is insects. Ladybugs, bugs and, of course, bees. A whole collection of honey beauties was produced in the 90s in various variations, with crystals and pearls, with enamel and combined metal inserts.
In 1990, Joan Rivers created her most famous jewelry line, the Joan Rivers Classics Collection, which became a bestseller. She received the first ACE Award from the Accessories Council in 1997 for her work in jewelry art.
Joan Rivers passed away in 2014 at the age of 81 from cardiac arrest. Currently, her daughter Melissa continues her mother’s work.
