Marino Costume Jewelry
Costume jewelry designer / manufacturer Marino made some lovely items. Working mostly in silvertone and goldtone bracelets and necklaces, Marino also had flights of fancy with pins and earrings as well.

Another fun piece is the charm bracelets Marino produced.

De Lillo Vintage Jewelry
De Lillo vintage jewelry isn't well-known, possibly because they weren't in operation for very long. However, de Lillo costume jewelry is rare and sought-after by saavy collectors.
Years of Operation and Mark
De Lillo operated from the late 1960s through the mid 1970s. (Like I said, they weren't around for very long.)
The mark is "de Lillo" in script.
Buying De Lillo Vintage Jewelry
The rule of thumb is this; if you can find a de Lillo piece in decent shape with a not-too-high price -- grab it! Prices tend to go up for this costume jewelry manufacturer (a good thing). Added to its desireability, it means that if you ever want to re-sell down the road, you'll likely make a profit on it.
All this being said, here's what you came for -- de Lillo vintage jewelry for sale! Enjoy your shopping.

Hollycraft Costume Jewelry
To me, Hollycraft costume jewelry epitomizes the 1950s style of jewelry. It's elegant without being over-the-top, yet still has plenty of sparkle. And it doesn't hurt that it's generally well made and very collectible. Count yourself lucky if you have any Hollycraft in your collection!

About the Company
Hollycraft costume jewelry was manufactured by Hollywood Jewelry Manufacturing Company. While the company started in 1938, it didn't start using the Hollycraft mark until 1948. And alas, the company closed its doors in 1971; the end of an era.
Hollycraft Marks
The Hollycraft marks are a little funky. On them you'll often see COPR instead of the expected CORP. Nope, not a typo (at least I don't think so), but it sure is different! (My theory is it's an abbreviation for "copyright".) Meanwhile, the marks are:
- "Hollycraft"
- "Hollycraft Copr" + the year of manufacture (1950's only).
- "Hollycraft" with the copyright symbol
Now that you know something about Hollycraft, here is some jewelry to brighten your day -- enjoy!

Mylu Costume Jewelry
Mylu costume jewelry is most well known for its wonderful Christmas pins. While Mylu did also make figural pins, it's the Christmas ones that are most collectible.
There isn't a whole lot known about Mylu's operation, aside from Lynne Gordon and Marge Borofsky founded it. Mylu was for a short while a division of Coro, presumably in the late 1960s to early-mid 1970s. Marge and Lynne eventually joined with Tancer II.
If you are searching for what's most collectible for Mylu costume jewelry, make a beeline for the Christmas tree pins -- worth more than the Santas, angels, etc.
And here's something to note; Mylu sometimes made earrings to match the Christmas jewelry. If you can find a brooch and earring set that's in good condition, snatch it!
Meanwhile, here are some pieces of Mylu vintage jewelry from which to shop. Enjoy!
