We kindly ask you to examine the images and descriptions carefully. 💚 Vintage jewelry inherently shows signs of age and wear from its journey through time. 💚 The styles of jewelry in this shop will not be altered (e.g., clip-on earrings will not be converted to posts). 💚 For those new to "Vintage Jewelry," we strongly encourage you to consider carefully before making a purchase. 💚 If an item arrives damaged to the point where it cannot be worn, a refund can be requested.

However, in 1937, his brother Nathan Lisker joined the company, and it was renamed "Lisker & Lisker." Seven years later, after World War II, the two brothers decided to rename the company by merging the names of their parents, John and Etta. Thus, "Jonette Jewelry Co." was established in Rhode Island in 1944. From 1970 onwards, the company's name was shortened to JJ, and eventually, each piece was marked "© JJ." Abraham Lisker, the company's founder, retired in 1972, and the new leadership was helmed by his son, B. Gordon Lisker. Gordon Lisker began outsourcing the production of some of the company's products to other firms. In 1986, he registered the name "Artisan" and used the Roman numeral MCMLXXXVI on the jewelry cards. In 1988, a Southwest line with the "Santa Fe" mark was released, signed "JJ 1988." Unfortunately, after 62 successful years of operating the family business, Jonette Jewelry Co. ceased production in September 2006. JJ jewelry is highly sought after by collectors for its distinctive designs, making them easily recognizable. They are not merely decorative items but works of art. The company primarily focused on producing uniquely designed, unusually shaped brooches. While other jewelers imitated antique jewelry, the owners of this company concentrated on creating brooches and pins in a variety of whimsical character forms. In addition to brooches, Jonette Jewelry Co. also produced jewelry, letter openers, picture frames, watch bands or bracelets, bookmarks, candle holders, and more. JJ artisans utilized materials such as brass, pewter, alloys, sterling silver, enamel, and resin in their creations.
