1956 BRITISH FASHION ACCESSORIES AND COSTUME JEWELLERY LEAFLET

Fashion Accessories and Costume Jewellery 1956 (Mon Amie Jewellery)

Dotty Stringfield wrote: “I was thrilled when Mary Walden-Till of the UK offered to send me scans of a 1956 accessory and jewellery trade leaflet she had found.    There is just not much information on British costume jewellery companies, so this little leaflet is a treasure.   Images are property of   Illusion Jewels Vintage Jewellery  and Mary Walden-Till.  You will notice I used the British spelling of “jewellery” in honor of Mary!” Some of the companies mentioned are probably stores where the jewellery was being sold, rather than the actual manufacturer of the jewellery.
