Originals by Robert Vintage Jewelry History


Robert Levy founded the Fashioncraft Jewelry Company in New York in 1942 together with David Jaffe and Irving Landsman . They used the marks, Original by Robert, Fashioncraft, Fashioncraft Robert and Robert. In 1960 the name of the company was changed to Robert Originals Inc.

In 1975 Robert retired and Jaffe's daughter, Ellen joined the company.   In 1979 the company became "Ellen designs for Robert Originals" and in 1984 it became "Ellen Designs".

This fabulously collectible jewelry has often been compared to the work of Miriam Haskell and Stanley Hagler due to the similar use of filigree and beaded design.
