This is a once in a lifetime find, and you will be pleased with the quality of the pieces. Notice that this is longer than the average for the time the bracelet, dangle earrings and brooch belonged to the wife of the owner of Dewees and were presumably custom made for her (information about Dewees comes from the son of the owner, who was kind enough to share the information.) I am including box the necklace and small earrings were found in, marked Jarecki's Jewelers and Silversmiths, Inc., Erie, PA. Bracelet is done in all goldtone, with no pearls and only baguette rhinestones on the terminals of each of the 6 links (24 total), foldover clasp, 8" x 1". Brooch is small, 1 3/8" x 1", and does not use any pearls. Longer dangle earrings are an "eveningwear" version of the smaller clips, just adding on a rhinestone and pearl dangle portion, 1 1/2" x 7/8" (notice clip finding is the one often found on Bogoff). Smaller clip earrings are same design but have the oval on it's side with only two stations, one set with a center pearl, the other is all rhinestones (and this looks original), 1" x 7/8". Bail is silvertone chain may not be original but is marked goldfilled both on the clasp and on hanging metal tag and is substantial and long (26"+). Pendant has goldtone ribbed oval center with a single glass pearl surrounded by clear pave set in silvertone at N-S-E-W points pendant is 2 1/2" x 1 3/4" including bail. All but the bracelet are made like fine jewelry with both gold and silvertone on the same piece. Dewees was only in business for a relatively short time, and when the company closed the owner went back to work for Trifari.

Excellent original condition with just a slight wave in the pearl strand which should hang out with time.ĭescription: Dewees Full Parure with Extra Earrings - A rare and highly regarded name by vintage collectors "in the know", the owner of Dewees was originally a designer for Trifari, then quit and started his own company.
