A company named after Sandor Goldberger. The company’s jewelers themselves called the first years of its existence experimental: either they produced a series of jewelry and decorative items in the Aztec style, or they imitated the famous collections of outstanding designers, or they began to sculpt “toy” jewelry.
However, Shandor Goldberger tried to bring the brooches-figures dear to the heart of grown-up girls, and the necklaces of the “Aztecs” designed for secular beauties as close as possible to real jewelry. Therefore, Sandor jewelry was often made of silver, and the company’s masters tried to hide less noble metals under a layer of gilding.
Sandor products were often decorated with colored rhinestones, Japanese glass, imitation pearls and author’s multi-colored enamels. Enamel has always been hand-applied and has also become the brand’s main material and hallmark since Beatrice Grace McGowan took over as Sandor’s lead designer.
In the history of Sandor, the famous “flower” period began, which very quickly brought fame and a decent profit to the company.
Graceful flowers, lush bouquets, branches swollen with buds, made according to McGowan’s sketches of silver, gilded or black-lacquered alloys, decorated with high-quality enamels, seemed about to come to life. Extraordinary realism, sculptural plasticity of exquisite forms and a high level of handwork distinguish Sandor products from many other companies. Beatrice Grace McGowan left Sandor at the end of 1950.
All of the company’s jewelry is labeled Sandor or Sandor with a copyright after 1955.
