Description: *****See my other auctions for more great historic items!***** DESIGNER SIGNED LES BERNARD 1960's/70's VINTAGE EGGYOLK AMBER LUCITE 3" DROP HUGE MOGUL EARRINGS COUTURE Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Les Bernard was a jewelry manufacturing company founded in 1963 by Lester Joy and Bernard Shapiro, son of Harold Shapiro (who co-founded Vouge Jewelry in the 1930s). The name they chose for their business combined elements of both men’s first names. Joy is known for designing jewelry for the company, and it is believed that Shapiro may have designed some of their pieces as well. They also manufactured jewelry for other fashion designers including Ugo Correani, Mary McFadden, and James Galanos. They are also known for producing the Dynasty Collection costume jewelry in conjunction with the popular television show in the 1980s. Les Bernard trademarked several jewelry manufacturing techniques, including “Diamond Point Texture.” This technique resulted in tiny indentations in the surface of a piece of metal jewelry, adding interest to the design. They also used semi-precious and precious gemstones in some of their pieces, even though they were not made of precious metals. Styles run the gamut from Art Deco revival to tailored pieces perfect for the circa 1990 “dress for success” look. Most of this brand’s jewelry was very nicely crafted with quality components and still looks good decades after it was made. After more than two successful decades of costume jewelry, the company closed in 1996. DESIGNER: -- SIGNED/STAMPED "LES BERNARD" ON EACH. MADE IN USA. CLIP BACKS. TRUE VINTAGE c. 1960'S - 70'S.
