American Avon Vintage Earrings: Hollow out stars, play ball puppy, and small semicircle designs in gold-plated studs.

▰▰▰▰▰▰AVON▰▰▰▰▰▰ Today's well-known Avon actually began in 1886 as the California Perfume Company, founded in New York by David H. McConnell. It was renamed Avon in 1938, giving the brand over 130 years of history. It is currently the world's second-largest direct selling company. How did a company that started with perfumes and cosmetics eventually develop a jewelry business? Beginning in 1963, Avon's branded jewelry was initially offered simply as a gift with purchase or a premium gift for high-value customers. By 1965, it started to be sold in small quantities alongside Avon products. The first collection of Avon jewelry, launched in March 1967, was named “The Precious Pretenders.” Due to the immense popularity of Avon's jewelry collections among customers, a dedicated jewelry section appeared in Avon catalogs starting in 1971. By 1975, Avon had become the leading manufacturer of costume jewelry of its time. ▰▰▰▰▰▰VINTAGE JEWELRY DETAILS▰▰▰▰▰▰ Brand Marking: Dot in a circle (Avon production mark) ©AVON.
